Select the option that expresses the given sentence in Direct to Indirect Speech.
He said, "I may go there.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Transformation from direct speech to indirect speech:
Reporting Verb: Since "said" is in the past tense, the tense of the reported speech must change.
Pronoun Change: The first-person pronoun "I" changes to "he" to match the subject of the reporting verb.
Modal Change: In indirect speech, the modal verb "may" changes to its past form, "might".
Conjunction: The word "that" is used to introduce the reported statement.
Therefore, the sentence He said, "I may go there" becomes "He said that he might go there."
