SSC CHSL - 21 Nov 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q13

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect voice.

My mother said, 'I will help you with your homework.'

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The original sentence in direct speech is in the future tense ('will help'). When converting from direct to indirect (reported) speech, the tense usually shifts backward in time. 'Will' changes to 'would'.

The pronoun 'I' changes to 'she', and 'you' changes to 'me'.

The resulting sentence in indirect speech is:

My mother said that she would help me with my homework.
