Direct/indirect

Question:

Choose the option that is the indirect form of the sentence.

“I have joined computer classes” Rudra said.

Options:

Rudra said that I am joining computer classes.

Rudra said that I join computer classes.

Rudra said that he had joined computer classes.

Rudra said that I joined computer classes.

Correct Answer:

Rudra said that he had joined computer classes.

Explanation:

The correct indirect form of the sentence is Rudra said that he had joined computer classes.

The other options are incorrect because they do not make the necessary changes to the tense of the verbs or the pronouns.

  • The option "Rudra said that I am joining computer classes" uses the present continuous tense, which is incorrect for an action that has already been completed.
  • The option "Rudra said that I join computer classes" uses the simple present tense, which is also incorrect for an action that has already been completed.
  • The option "Rudra said that I joined computer classes" is grammatically correct, but it is not the most accurate way to report the statement, as it implies that the action is still ongoing.
