Choose the correct indirect narration of the following statement from the given alternatives:
She said to me, 'We are going to live in a new city from next month onwards until my brother gets a new job.'
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To convert the direct speech 'She said to me, 'We are going to live in a new city from next month
onwards until my brother gets a new job'' into indirect narration, the following changes are required:
Reporting Verb: 'said to' changes to 'told'.
Pronouns: 'We' changes to 'they', and 'my' changes to 'her' to match the subject 'She'.
Tense: 'are going to' (present continuous) changes to 'were going to' (past continuous), and 'gets'
(simple present) changes to 'got' (simple past).
Time Markers: 'next month' changes to 'the following month'.
Option B correctly implements all these changes.
