Choose the option that is the indirect form of the sentence.
She said to him, “I don’t want to go there.”
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct indirect form of the sentence is:
She said to him that she didn't want to go there.
The other options are incorrect:
- She said he didn't want to go there. This is incorrect because the speaker is talking about themselves, not the person they are speaking to.
- She said to him that you do not want to go there. This is incorrect because the pronoun "you" is used when addressing the listener directly.
- He said to her that she didn't want to go there. This is incorrect because the reporting verb is "said" and the speaker is female.
