Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
You said to me, “ I shall reach in time for the concert.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. You told me that you would reach in time for the concert.
In converting the direct speech "You said to me, 'I shall reach in time for the concert.'" to indirect speech, "I shall" changes to "you would" to reflect the shift from future simple to conditional tense.
The reporting phrase "You said to me" becomes "You told me" to streamline the expression. The remaining part of the sentence, "in time for the concert," stays the same.
Thus, the correct indirect form is "You told me that you would reach in time for the concert," accurately reflecting the tense change and maintaining the intended meaning.
