Question:

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

 

Ravi says," I go for a walk every morning".

Options:

Ravi says that he goes for a walk every morning.

Ravi said that he used to go for a walk every morning.

Ravi said that he goes for a walk every morning.

Ravi says he went for a walk every morning.

Correct Answer:

Ravi says that he goes for a walk every morning.

Explanation:

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

Ravi says that he goes for a walk every morning.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

  • Ravi said that he used to go for a walk every morning. The modal verb "used to" suggests that Ravi is no longer going for a walk every morning, but the original statement is about a present habit.
  • Ravi said that he goes for a walk every morning. The reporting verb "said" should be in the present tense, "says".
  • Ravi says he went for a walk every morning. The verb "went" should be in the present tense, "goes".
