Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
She said to me, “You will speak at the conference tomorrow.”
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:
She told me that I would speak at the conference the next day.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow these rules:
- She told me that I would speak at the conference that day. - This sentence does not change the word "tomorrow" to "the next day."
- She told me that I might speak at the conference the next day. - This sentence changes the future tense to the modal verb "might," which is less assertive.
- She told me that I will speak at the conference the today. - This sentence does not change the future tense to the past tense for the auxiliary verb "will."
