In the following question, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct speech.
"I always drink warm water in the morning," she said to me.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. She said to me that she always drank warm water in the morning.
The sentence in indirect speech would be:
'She said to me that she always drank warm water in the morning.'
- The inverted comma is removed and 'that' is added after 'me'.
- 'I' changes into 'she' as the first person changes according to the subject of the reporting verb.
- 'Drink' changes into 'drank' as the reporting verb is in the past.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
