SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 16 Oct 2019 - Shift 2 • English • Q1

Select the correct Indirect form of the sentence.

Anil said, "I want you to help me with my plants."

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Anil said that he wanted me to help him with his plants.

Changes required:
Tense – “want” changes to “wanted” (as reporting verb "said" is in past)
Pronouns – “I” changes to “he”, “you” changes to “me”, “me” changes to “him”

Converted sentence: Anil said that he wanted me to help him with his plants.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
