Choose the correct indirect speech form of the following sentence.
Mohan told Radha, 'l have seen you many times in the market since last year.'
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To convert the direct speech into indirect speech, several changes are required:
Tense: The present perfect ('have seen') changes to the past perfect ('had seen').
Pronouns:'I' (referring to Mohan) changes to 'he'.
'you' (referring to Radha) changes to 'her'.
Time Expression: 'last year' changes to 'the previous year'.
Reporting Verb: Since 'told' is already used with an object (Radha), it remains 'told Radha that'.
The correct indirect speech form of the sentence is: Mohan told Radha that he had seen her many times in the market since the previous year.
