Back to paper

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

Rajat said, “I submitted my work assignment yesterday.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rajat said that he had submitted his work assignment the previous day.

 

Changes made in Reported (Indirect) Speech:

  1. “I” becomes “he” (since Rajat is speaking about himself).

  2. “Submitted” (simple past) becomes “had submitted” (past perfect).

  3. “Yesterday” becomes “the previous day” (time expression changes in reported speech).

Final Reported Speech Sentence: Rajat said that he had submitted his work assignment the previous day.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
