Back to paper

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

You said, “I scored four goals.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. You said that you had scored four goals.

  1. In indirect speech, the pronoun "I" changes to "you," and the tense "scored" (simple past) changes to "had scored" (past perfect) to reflect the shift from direct to indirect speech.

  2. The word "that" is used to introduce the reported speech.

So, "You said that you had scored four goals." accurately reflects the direct speech in an indirect form.
