SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Jan 2024 • English • Q150

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

I said to Prachi, “I visited Maldives last week.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. I told Prachi that I had visited Maldives the previous week.

The correct indirect form of "I said to Prachi, 'I visited the Maldives last week.'" is "I told Prachi that I had visited the Maldives the previous week."

This conversion is necessary because the past simple tense "visited" changes to the past perfect tense "had visited" to indicate that the visit occurred before the reporting time.
