Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect voice. He said, "I will be travelling next month."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When converting direct speech to indirect speech, changes occur to tense and time expressions based on the reporting verb.
Tense Change: Since the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, the future tense "will be travelling" changes to the past future tense, "would be travelling".
Time Expression Change: The time expression "next month" changes to "the following month" or "the next month" to reflect the perspective of the indirect reporter.
Pronoun Change: The pronoun "I" changes to "he" to match the subject of the reporting verb.
Option ‘A’ implements all these changes.
