Choose the correct form of reported verb when the following sentence is changed to indirect speech:
She says, "I enjoy walking".
Options:
I enjoy
I enjoyed
She enjoys
She enjoyed
Correct Answer:
She enjoys
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option (3) - She enjoys
When converting direct speech to indirect speech, if the reporting verb is in the present tense (as in "She says"), the verb in the reported speech generally remains in the present tense.
Therefore, "I enjoy walking" in direct speech becomes "She enjoys walking" in indirect speech.
