He asked me if I would like to learn French.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. He said to me, “Would you like to learn French?”
The given sentence is in indirect speech, to convert this sentence into direct speech we need to follow the following points:
- 'If' will be omitted and Inverted commas will be used.
- In the first part of the sentence, the verb "asked" will be changed to "said" in the direct speech.
- A reported question is when we tell someone what another person asked. The modal verbs "might, could, would, should, ought to" do not change in reported speech in such cases.
- Next, the first person pronoun 'I' will be changed into the second person pronoun 'you'.
After following these steps, we got the direct speech as: He said to me, “Would you like to learn French?”
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. He said to me, “Would you like to learn French?”
