Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect voice. He said, "I spoke with my parents yesterday."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To convert direct speech into indirect speech for this sentence, follow these rules:
Change the reporting verb (said) and add "that" to introduce the reported speech.
Change the pronoun "I" to "he" to match the subject.
Change the verb tense. The direct speech uses simple past ("spoke"), so it must change to past perfect ("had spoken") in indirect speech.
Change the time expression "yesterday" to "the previous day" (or "the day before").
Option ‘C’ follows these changes.
