    Question

    Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
    The surgeon says, “You should get anesthesia for the surgery.”

    A.

    The surgeon says you should get anesthesia for the surgery.

    B.

    The surgeon said that I shall get anesthesia for the surgery.

    C.

    The surgeon says that I should have got anesthesia for the surgery.

    D.

    The surgeon says that I should get anesthesia for the surgery.

    Correct option is D

    The correct indirect speech is (d) The surgeon says that I should get anesthesia for the surgery.
    Direct Speech: When the exact words of the speaker are quoted using quotation marks, it is called direct speech.
    Indirect Speech: When the speaker’s words are reported without quoting them exactly, it is called indirect speech.
    Explanation:
    · Reporting verb “says” is in present, so tense remains unchanged in the reported clause.
    · “You” becomes “I” (assuming the speaker is the patient).
    · Rule:
    · Present reporting verb → No backshifting of tense
    · Direct: The surgeon says, “You should get anesthesia.”
    · Indirect: The surgeon says that I should get anesthesia.
    · �� Information Booster: Pronoun changes are based on context (you → I, if referring to the speaker).
