SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 16 Oct 2019 - Shift 2 • English • Q7

Select the correct Indirect form of the sentence.

The chef said, "You will like the potato chops I've cooked for you."

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. The chef said that I would like the potato chops she had cooked for me.

Changes required:
Tense – “will like” changes to “would like”, “have cooked” becomes “had cooked” (as reporting verb "said" is in past)
Pronouns – “you” becomes “I”, “I’ve” becomes “she had”, “you” becomes “me”

Converted sentence: The chef said that I would like the potato chops she had cooked for me.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
