SSC CHSL - 13 Nov 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q23

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

He said that if he were to receive a promotion, he would buy his family a bigger house.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The original sentence is in indirect speech, using the past tense 'said' and 'would' to report a future conditional situation from a past perspective. To change this to direct speech, we must restore the original speaker's exact words. Option B accurately reflects the structure and tense of the original statement.
