SSC CGL - 13 April 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q13

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

She said to her, “Will you ready my suit tomorrow?”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. She asked her if she would ready her suit the next day.

Given sentence: She said to her, “Will you ready my suit tomorrow?”

In indirect speech, we need to remove commas and inverted commas and the conjunction 'if' is added.

As the second person pronouns are changed according to the object of the reporting verb, thus, you is changed to she.

"Will" is changed to "would', and 'tomorrow' is changed to 'the next day.' 

So, the final sentence is:

She asked her if she would ready her suit the next day.
