Question

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
She said to me, “I shall come to meet you tomorrow.”

A.

She asked me that could she come to meet me the next day.

B.

She tells me that she could come to meet me tomorrow.

C.

She told me that she will come to meet me tomorrow.

D.

She told me that she would come to meet me the next day.

Correct option is D

The correct indirect speech of the given sentence is "She told me that she would come to meet me the next day."
Rules of conversion from direct to indirect speech:
1. Change of reporting verb:
· "Said to" changes to "told" (since it is a statement).
2. Change of pronouns:
· "I" changes to "she" (as per subject).
· "You" changes to "me" (as per object).
3. Change of tense:
· "Shall" changes to "would" in indirect speech.
4. Change of time expressions:
· "Tomorrow" changes to "the next day".
Example:
· Direct: He said, “I will help you tomorrow.”
· Indirect: He said that he would help me the next day.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) She asked me that could she come to meet me the next day. → Incorrect because it is a statement, not a question.
· (b) She tells me that she could come to meet me tomorrow. → Incorrect as "tells" is present tense and "could" is incorrect.
· (c) She told me that she will come to meet me tomorrow. → Incorrect as "will" should change to "would."
