Select the most appropriate indirect form of the given sentence.
Father said to his daughter, "I will attend your convocation tomorrow."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Father told his daughter that he would attend her convocation the next day.
Explanation:
The changes that will happen when we convert the given direct speech into indirect speech:
- ‘Said to’ will be changed to ‘told’.
- Since the first sentence is in the past form:
- In the reported speech, ‘will’ should be changed to ‘would’.
- The subject ‘I’ will be changed to ‘He’.
- ‘Tomorrow’ will be changed to ‘the next day'.
So, the indirect speech will be:
Father told his daughter that he would attend her convocation the next day.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
