Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
The father said to his daughter, “Your mother will be waiting for me.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2, i.e., the father told his daughter that her mother would be waiting for him.
Changes required:
Conjunction: “said to” changes to “told” and introduces the conjunction “that”
Verb: “will” changes to “would” (future tense shifts to future-in-the-past)
Pronoun: “Your” becomes “her” and “me” becomes “him” (adjusted according to the speaker "The father")
Converted sentence: The father told his daughter that her mother would be waiting for him.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
