Change the following sentence into Indirect Speech.
She said to him, "Can you meet me tomorrow?"
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct transformation into Indirect Speech is:OPTION 1 She asked him if he could meet her the next day.
Here's the explanation:
-
Change of Pronouns:
- "Can you" becomes "could," as the reporting verb is in the past tense.
- "you" (second person) changes to "he" (third person).
-
Reporting Verb:
- Change from "said" to "asked" since it's a question.
-
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."
