Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

She said to Madhu, “Please post this letter.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is otpion 4 i.e. She requested Madhu to post that letter.

  • The direct speech is a request, indicated by "Please post this letter."

  • Instead of "said," which is often used for statements or commands, "requested" is more suitable for indirect speech when the original statement is a polite request.

  • "This letter" changes to "that letter" to match the shift from direct to indirect speech.

  • The verb "post" remains the same.

  • Combine these elements to form the indirect speech sentence.

So, the indirect speech form is: She requested Madhu to post that letter
