Question:

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

Radha said to us, “You will get your salary from your office tomorrow.”

Options:

Radha told us that we would got our salary from our office tommorow.

Radha told us that we would got our salary from our office the other day.

Radha told us that we would got our salary from our office tommorow.

Radha told us that we would get our salary from our office the next day.

Correct Answer:

Radha told us that we would get our salary from our office the next day.

Explanation:

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is: OPTION 4

Radha told us that we would get our salary from our office the next day.

  1. Change of Pronoun: The pronoun "you" changes to "we" to reflect the perspective of the group being addressed.

  2. Change of Verb Tense: The verb "will" changes to "would" to indicate the past tense in indirect speech.

  3. Time Reference Adjustment: "Tomorrow" changes to "the next day" to accurately reflect the timing in the context of indirect speech.

Thus, the best choice that accurately reflects the original meaning in indirect speech is: "Radha told us that we would get our salary from our office the next day."

OTHER OPTIONS

  • Radha told us that we would got our salary from our office tomorrow.: Incorrect because "got" is the wrong form; it should be "get."

  • Radha told us that we would got our salary from our office the other day.: Incorrect for the same reason as above, and "the other day" is not appropriate as it implies a different time reference.

  • Radha told us that we would got our salary from our office tomorrow.: Incorrect because "got" is the wrong form; it should be "get," and "tomorrow" should change to "the next day."
