Choose the correct indirect narration of the following statement from the given alternatives:
Sohan said, "You will get up early tomorrow to go for a morning walk as you must qualify in the physical test."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To convert the direct speech into indirect narration, the following changes were made:
Reporting Verb "said" remains "said" because it is not followed by an object.
Pronouns: "You" (second person) changes to "he" (third person) to refer to the person being spoken to.
Tenses: "will" changes to "would" to reflect the past tense of the reporting verb.
Time Markers: "tomorrow" changes to "the day after" or "the next day".
Modal Verbs: "must" changes to "had to" to indicate obligation in the past.
