Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
"Cheer up, father, I'll go and get the job." said Mrinal.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:
Mrinal asked her father to cheer up as she would go and get the job.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Mrinal ask her father to cheer up as she will go and get the job. The reporting verb "ask" should be in the past tense, "asked".
- Mrinal asked her father to cheer up, because she would be gone and got the job. The phrase "would be gone and got" is incorrect. The correct form is "would go and get".
- Mrinal asks her father to cheer up as she would get job. The article "the" is missing before "job".
