Aryan told me that I knew where to find him.

Options:

Aryan said to me, “You know where to find me.”

Aryan said to me, “You knowing where to find me.”

Aryan said to me, “You are known where to find me.”

Aryan says to me, “You know where to find me.”

Correct Answer:

Aryan said to me, “You know where to find me.”

Explanation:

The correct direct form of the given sentence is:

Aryan said to me, "You know where to find me."

The other options are incorrect because they change the direct form of the sentence in some way:

  • Aryan said to me, "You knowing where to find me." - This sentence changes the verb "know" to the present participle form "knowing."
  • Aryan said to me, "You are known where to find me." - This sentence changes the verb "know" to the passive voice.
  • Aryan says to me, "You know where to find me." - This sentence changes the past tense to the present tense.
