Question:

Change the following sentence into Indirect Speech.

She said to him, "Can you meet me tomorrow?"

Options:

She asked him if he could meet her the next day.

He asked her if you could meet her the next day.

She asked him to meet her the next day.

She told him to meet the next day.

Correct Answer:

She asked him if he could meet her the next day.

Explanation:

The correct transformation into Indirect Speech is:OPTION 1 She asked him if he could meet her the next day.

Here's the explanation:

  1. Change of Pronouns:

    • "Can you" becomes "could," as the reporting verb is in the past tense.
    • "you" (second person) changes to "he" (third person).

  2. Reporting Verb:

    • Change from "said" to "asked" since it's a question.

  3. Reporting the Time:

    • "tomorrow" becomes "the next day" to maintain the correct temporal relationship in the reported speech.

Putting it all together: "She asked him if he could meet her the next day."
