Choose the correct form of reported verb when the following sentence is changed to indirect speech:
She says, "I enjoy walking".
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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.
