Question

Select the most appropriate indirect form of the given sentence.
Hari said, "I will go to school with Rahul."

A.

Hari said that he would go to school with Rahul.

B.

Hari says that he would go to school with Rahul.

C.

Hari said that I will go to school with Rahul.

D.

Hari said that he will go to school with Rahul.

Correct option is A

The correct indirect speech is Hari said that he would go to school with Rahul.
Explanation: In indirect speech, when the reporting verb (“said”) is in the past tense, the tense of the reported speech changes from simple future (will) to future in the past (would). Also, the pronoun “I” changes according to the subject “Hari,” becoming “he.”
Rules of Conversion:
· Direct → Indirect: Simple Future → Future in the Past.
· “will” → “would”
· “shall” → “should”
· Pronouns are changed according to the subject/object relationship.
· Example:
· Direct: She said, “I will help you.”
· Indirect: She said that she would help me.
· Information Booster:
· When the reporting verb is in the past tense, all future forms in reported speech usually shift back:
· will → would
· shall → should
· may → might
· can → could
