Change the following into direct Speech. Choose the correct answer from below:
He asked me if I could meet him the next day.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → He said, "Can you meet me tomorrow?"
The original sentence is in reported speech, where someone is reporting what another person asked. In this case, the reported speech begins with "He asked me if."
In the direct speech, we directly quote what the person asked. Option (1), "He said, 'Can you meet me tomorrow?"" correctly quotes the question that was asked, matching the original sentence's meaning and structure.
Options (2), (3), and (4) do not accurately represent the reported speech, as they introduce variations or incorrect wording that deviates from the original sentence's meaning.
