Choose the option that is the indirect form of the sentence.
Lokesh said, “I am very busy this week”.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct indirect form of the sentence is:
Lokesh said that he was very busy that week.
The other options are incorrect:
- Lokesh said that I am very busy that week. This is incorrect because the speaker is talking about themselves, so we use the pronoun "he" instead of "I".
- Lokesh said that he are very busy this week. This is incorrect because the pronoun "he" should be singular, not plural.
- Lokesh said that he was very busy this week. This is incorrect because the reported speech should be in the past tense, not the present tense.
