Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
He said, “My dog died on a cold night”.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. He said his dog had died on a cold night.
Option 4 is correct because:
As the reporting verb is in past tense, Simple past tense (died) changes to past perfect tense (had died).
First person pronoun (my) changes to "his" according to the subject of reporting speech (He).
The correct sentence will be: He said his dog had died on a cold night.
