SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Jan 2024 • English • Q138

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

He said to me, “I am going to France next week.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. He told me that he was going to France the following week.

The correct indirect form of the sentence is: "He told me that he was going to France the following week."

This transformation involves changing the present tense "am going" to the past tense "was going" to reflect the shift from direct to indirect speech.

Additionally, "next week" is adjusted to "the following week" to correctly report the time reference in the context of the indirect speech.
