Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.
I said that I would go to the temple.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I said, “I will go to the temple”.
Option 2 is correct because:
As the reporting verb is in past tense, Simple past tense (would) changes to simple present tense (will).
Since, the subject is "I", there is no need to change the pronoun in the reporting speech.
The correct sentence will be: I said, “I will go to the temple”.
