    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to change the sentence from direct speech to indirect speech
    Neha said, "I shall go for shopping tomorrow".
    Neha told that ----------for shopping ……….

    A.

    Should go/the last day

    B.

    He should go/the previous day

    C.

    They must go/the working day

    D.

    She would go/the next day

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (d) She would go/the next day.

    • In indirect speech, the following changes occur:

    ·       The reporting verb "said" changes to "told" or "said that" (if no question or command).

    ·       The pronoun "I" becomes "she" (as Neha is the speaker).

    ·       The future tense "shall" changes to "would" in indirect speech.

    ·       Time expressions such as "tomorrow" change to "the next day."

    Grammatical Rule Used:

    • When converting direct speech to indirect speech, the changes include:

    ·       Pronouns change based on the speaker and listener.

    ·       Tense shifts: Present simple to past simple, future simple (shall/will) to future-in-the-past (would).

    ·       Time expressions like "tomorrow" change to "the next day," "today" to "that day," etc.

    Meanings of other options:

    • (A) "Should go/the last day" – Incorrect; "should" is not the correct transformation of "shall" in this context.

    • (B) "He should go/the previous day" – Incorrect; pronoun change and time expression are incorrect.

    • (C) "They must go/the working day" – Incorrect; wrong pronoun ("they") and time expression.
