SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q31

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

“I will help you,” he will say to me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. He will tell me that he will help me.

Given sentence: “I will help you,” he will say to me.

Reverse it for better understanding: He will say to me, “I will help you,”

In Indirect speech: We report the content of another's words without directly quoting it. Here, since you need to repeat a future event, it has to be in simple future tense. 

So the sentence becomes: He will tell me that he will help me.

Hence, He will tell me that he will help me is the correct answer.
