Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
Ravi says," I go for a walk every morning".
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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".
