aHe asked her why she had given up her job.

bHe asked her why you gave up the job.

cHe demand to know why she gave up job.

dHe requested her why she gave up the job.

✓ Correct answer: a) He asked her why she had given up her job.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option A - He asked her why she had given up her job.This is an interrogative sentence (wh- question) and it’s being reported in indirect speech, so the structure will change as follows: Rules to apply:1. Said → changes to asked (since it’s a question).2. "Why did you give up..." → backshift the verb to "had given up" (past simple → past perfect).3. "your" changes based on the subject – here, the subject is likely "her".Other Options: B) Incorrect: "you gave up" is not backshifted, and "you" is not changed to "she".C) Incorrect: "demand" is too strong and grammatically incorrect in structure.D) Incorrect: "requested" is not used for questions, and the verb tense isn't shifted.

In the following question, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best express the same sentence in Indirect/Direct speech. He said that when he was a boy he could stay up as long as he liked.

aHe said,"When I had been a boy I could stay up as long as I liked."

bHe told, "When I was a boy I could stay up as long as I liked."

cHe said,"When I was a boy I could stay up as long as I liked."

dHe said,"When I am a boy I can stay up as long as I like."

✓ Correct answer: c) He said,"When I was a boy I could stay up as long as I liked."

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option C — He said,"When I was a boy I could stay up as long as I liked." Explanation: When converting indirect speech to direct speech, we need to make several changes: The reporting verb "said" remains the same.We remove the conjunction "that" and add quotation marks around the direct speech.Pronouns change according to the original speaker's perspective: — "he" (third person) changes back to "I" (first person, as the speaker is referring to himself) For this sentence, the tenses remain the same because: — "was" (simple past) remains "was" in direct speech as it refers to a specific past time — "could" (past modal) remains "could" as it's already appropriate for the past time reference — "liked" (simple past) remains "liked" as it maintains the past reference The time clause "when I was a boy" correctly establishes the past time frame, so no further tense changes are needed.IN HINGLISH: Indirect speech को direct speech में बदलते समय हमें कुछ जरूरी बदलाव करने होते हैं: Reporting verb "said" में कोई tense change नहीं किया जाता, यह same रहता है। "That" को हटा दिया जाता है और direct speech को quotation marks में लिखा जाता है। Pronouns को original speaker की दृष्टि से बदला जाता है: — "he" (third person) वापस "I" (first person) बन जाता है क्योंकि वक्ताा खुद के बारे में बात कर रहा है। इस sentence में tense change नहीं होता क्योंकि original reference already past time है और context clear है। For this sentence: "was" (simple past) → remains "was" — क्योंकि यह एक specific past time बताता है। "could" (past modal) → remains "could" — यह पहले से ही past context के लिए सही है। "liked" (simple past) → remains "liked" — past reference को maintain करता है, इसलिए change नहीं होगा। | | SSC Time clause “when I was a boy” पहले ही past time frame को स्पष्ट कर देता है, इसलिए tense में और कोई बदलाव आवश्यक नहीं है।

aHe wondered how a Zebra talks.

bHe questioned a Zebra talking.

cHe asked how a Zebra could talk.

dHe was amazed how a Zebra can talk.

✓ Correct answer: c) He asked how a Zebra could talk.

ExplanationCorrect Answer: Option C — He asked how a Zebra could talk.Explanation: The given sentence is an interrogative sentence (question form)."How can a Zebra talk?" When converting an interrogative sentence into indirect speech: “said” changes to asked (or inquired).The question form changes into a statement form (no question mark).The auxiliary verb shifts according to tense rule: can → could (because reporting verb “said” is in past tense).The word order becomes: how + subject + verb So the correct indirect form is: He asked how a Zebra could talk.

✓ Correct answer: c) Bidding his dear friend good-bye, the patriot said that they would meet again.

ExplanationThe correct alternative to express the given sentence in Indirect speech is: "Bidding his dear friend good-bye, the patriot said that they would meet again." This option accurately transforms the direct speech into indirect speech while maintaining the correct tense changes and attributions.The phrase "bidding his dear friend good-bye" replaces the original statement "Good-bye!Dear friend," as a suitable introduction to the reported speech.The change in tense from "will" to "would" is also applied correctly to the reported speech.

In the following question, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct speech. I said to the old man, "Don't sit on that chair; it is broken."

aI cautioned the old man against sitting on that chair as it was broken.

bI cautioned the old man against sitting on that chair, it will be broken.

cI requested the old man not to sit on that chair because it is broken.

dI asked the old man not to sit on the chair as it is broken.

✓ Correct answer: a) I cautioned the old man against sitting on that chair as it was broken.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option A — I cautioned the old man against sitting on that chair as it was broken.Explanation: To convert direct speech into indirect speech, we follow several rules based on the type of sentence and the verbs used: Sentence Type: The original sentence is an imperative sentence containing a negative command — "Don't sit on that chair..." Reporting Verb: For negative commands or warnings, appropriate reporting verbs include warned, cautioned, or advised instead of "told" or "asked".Since the sentence implies warning due to a broken chair, "cautioned" is the most appropriate verb.Change in Structure: Imperative sentences in indirect speech often use the gerund (-ing form) when followed by "against"."Don't sit" changes to "against sitting".Tense Consistency: The original has "it is broken".As the reporting verb "said" is in the past, shift the tense to past: "is" → "was".Pronouns and Reference Words: "That chair" remains the same in indirect speech.

aHe exclaimed that he wished they would come.

bHe exclaimed hopefully that they would come.

cHe exclaimed that he would wish them to come.

dHe exclaimed how he wished they would come.

✓ Correct answer: b) He exclaimed hopefully that they would come.

ExplanationThe correct answer is Option A. Direct Speech: "He said, 'How I wish they would come!'" Exclamatory Sentence: The expression "How I wish..." conveys a strong desire or hope.Reporting Verb Change: In indirect speech, "said" is changed to "exclaimed" to convey the emotion expressed in the sentence.Conjunction: The exclamatory expression is converted into a statement using "that".Meaning Preserved: Option A correctly conveys the speaker's wish without altering the intended meaning.Therefore, the correct answer is Option A. Correct Sentence: "He exclaimed that he wished they would come." Option B: "He exclaimed hopefully that they would come." Incorrect because it changes the original structure and does not convey the explicit wish expressed by the speaker.Option C: "He exclaimed that he would wish them to come." Incorrect because the construction "would wish" is unnatural and alters the meaning.Option D: "He exclaimed how he wished they would come." Incorrect because the conjunction "how" is unnecessary in indirect narration and makes the sentence awkward.

aMrs. Lal asked Nina why she could't see a doctor.

bMis. Lal demanded why Nina did't see her doctor.

cMrs. Lal advised Nina to see a doctor.

dMrs. Lal advised that Nina to see her doctor.

✓ Correct answer: a) Mrs. Lal asked Nina why she could't see a doctor.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option A — Mrs. Lal asked Nina why she couldn't see a doctor.Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech for questions in the form of "Why don't you...?", we need to make several changes: The reporting verb "said" changes to "asked" since this is a question.For wh-questions, we use the question word "why" directly without adding "that." The sentence structure changes from interrogative to declarative word order: "why she couldn't see" instead of "why don't you see." Pronouns change according to the new perspective: "you" (the listener, Nina) changes to "she" The negative form changes: "don't you see" changes to "she couldn't see" The contraction "don't" in present tense becomes "couldn't" (could not) in past tense with backshift We remove the quotation marks and question mark.In Hinglish: "Why don't you...?" format वाले direct speech को indirect speech में बदलते समय (जब question हो) हमें कुछ बदलाव करने पड़ते हैं: Reporting verb "said" को "asked" में बदला जाता है क्योंकि यह question है। Wh-questions के लिए question word "why" directly use किया जाता है बिना "that" add किए। Sentence structure interrogative से declarative word order में बदलता है: "why she couldn't see" न कि "why don't you see." Pronouns नए perspective के अनुसार बदलते हैं: "you" → "she" (listener Nina) Negative form बदलता है: "don't you see" → "she couldn't see" Present tense में contraction "don't" backshift के साथ past tense में "couldn't" (could not) बन जाता है | | SSC Quotation marks (" ") और question mark (?) हटा दिए जाते हैं।

d"I must start in two days time mother,"he said.

✓ Correct answer: a) "I am starting the day after tomorrow, mother,"he said.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option A — "I am starting the day after tomorrow, mother," he said.Explanation: When converting indirect speech to direct speech, we need to make several changes: The reporting verb "told" changes to "said" in direct speech.We remove the conjunction "that" and add quotation marks around the direct speech.Pronouns change according to the original speaker's perspective: "he" (third person) changes back to "I" (first person, as the speaker is referring to himself) "his mother" becomes the vocative "mother" The tense shifts forward (reverse of backshift): Past continuous "was starting" changes back to present continuous "am starting" Time expressions change to reflect the original perspective: "in two days' time" changes to "the day after tomorrow" (both mean the same — two days from now) We add a comma before the vocative "mother" and a full stop at the end of the quoted speech.In Hinglish: Indirect speech को direct speech में बदलते समय हमें कुछ बदलाव करने पड़ते हैं: Reporting verb "told" को "said" में बदला जाता है direct speech में। Conjunction "that" हटा दिया जाता है और direct speech को quotation marks (" ") में लिखा जाता है। Pronouns original speaker के perspective के अनुसार बदलते हैं: "he" → "I" (third person से first person, क्योंकि speaker खुद अपनी बात कर रहा है) "his mother" vocative "mother" बन जाता है Tense forward shift होता है (backshift का reverse): Past continuous "was starting" → present continuous "am starting" Time expressions original perspective के अनुसार बदलते हैं: "in two days' time" → "the day after tomorrow" (दोनों का मतलब same है — अभी से दो दिन बाद) Vocative "mother" से पहले comma (,) और quoted speech के अंत में full stop (.) add किया जाता है।

✓ Correct answer: d) The mother advised the children not to step out of the house in the summer season.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option D — The mother advised the children not to step out of the house in the summer season.Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech for negative commands or warnings, we need to make several changes: The reporting verb "said" changes to "advised" since the mother is giving advice/guidance to her children (not threatening or requesting, but caring guidance for their well-being).We need to add an indirect object "the children" to show who received the advice.Negative commands in indirect speech are expressed using "not to + base verb." The negative imperative "Don't step out" becomes "not to step out." The phrases "of the house" and "in the summer season" remain unchanged.We remove the quotation marks.In Hinglish: Direct speech (negative command/warning) को indirect speech में बदलते समय हमें कुछ बदलाव करने पड़ते हैं: Reporting verb "said" को "advised" में बदला जाता है क्योंकि mother अपने children को advice/guidance दे रही है (threatening या requesting नहीं, बल्कि unki well-being के लिए caring guidance)। Indirect object "the children" add करना पड़ता है यह दिखाने के लिए कि advice किसको मिली। Negative commands को indirect speech में "not to + base verb" से express किया जाता है। Negative imperative "Don't step out" बन जाता है "not to step out."

✓ Correct answer: a) The teacher enquired from the students whether the guide had conducted them right upto the top.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option A — The teacher enquired from the students whether the guide had conducted them right upto the top.Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech for yes/no questions, we need to make several changes: The reporting verb "asked" can be changed to "enquired from" since both are appropriate for questions.For yes/no questions, we use "if" or "whether" as conjunctions to introduce the reported question.The sentence structure changes from interrogative to declarative word order: "whether the guide had conducted them" instead of "Did the guide bring you." Pronouns change according to the new perspective: "you" (the listeners, students) changes to "them" The tense shifts backward (backshift): Simple past "did...bring" changes to past perfect "had conducted" (or "had brought") The verb "bring" can be replaced with a more formal synonym "conducted" which means "led" or "brought" in this context.The phrase "right up to top" is corrected to "right upto the top" (adding "the" for grammatical correctness).We remove the quotation marks and question mark.In Hinglish: Direct speech (yes/no question) को indirect speech में बदलते समय हमें कुछ बदलाव करने पड़ते हैं: Reporting verb "asked" को "enquired from" में बदला जा सकता है क्योंकि दोनों questions के लिए appropriate हैं। Yes/no questions के लिए "if" या "whether" conjunction use करते हैं reported question introduce करने के लिए। Sentence structure interrogative से declarative word order में बदलता है: "whether the guide had conducted them" की जगह "Did the guide bring you" नहीं। Pronouns नए perspective के अनुसार बदलते हैं: "you" → "them" (listeners, students) Tense backward shift होता है (backshift): Simple past "did...bring" → past perfect "had conducted" (या "had brought") Verb "bring" को ज्यादा formal synonym "conducted" से replace किया जा सकता है जिसका मतलब "led" या "brought" है इस context में। Phrase "right up to top" को "right upto the top" में correct किया जाता है (grammatical correctness के लिए "the" add करके)। Quotation marks (" ") और question mark (?) हटा दिए जाते हैं।

✓ Correct answer: b) My sister said that they would contact me as soon as they finish the job.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option B - My sister said that they would contact me as soon as they finish the job.Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we need to apply several changes: Add the conjunction "that" after the reporting verb "said."

✓ Correct answer: d) Rakesh asks Sunita if she can prepare a cup of tea for him.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option D — Rakesh asks Sunita if she can prepare a cup of tea for him.Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech for yes/no questions, we need to make several changes: The reporting verb "says" changes to "asks" since it's a question (request).Since the reporting verb is in present tense "says/asks", we do NOT apply backshift of tenses.For yes/no questions, we use "if" or "whether" as conjunctions to introduce the reported question.The sentence structure changes from interrogative to declarative word order: "if she can prepare" instead of "Can you prepare." Pronouns change according to the new perspective: "you" (the listener, Sunita) changes to "she" "me" (the speaker, Rakesh) changes to "him" The vocative "Sunita" becomes the indirect object after the reporting verb.Since the reporting verb is in present tense, the modal "can" remains as "can" (no backshift).We remove the quotation marks and question mark.In Hinglish: Direct speech (yes/no question) को indirect speech में बदलते समय हमें कुछ बदलाव करने पड़ते हैं: Reporting verb "says" को "asks" में बदला जाता है क्योंकि यह question (request) है। क्योंकि reporting verb present tense "says/asks" में है, हम tenses का backshift नहीं करते। Yes/no questions के लिए "if" या "whether" conjunction use करते हैं reported question introduce करने के लिए। | | SSC Sentence structure interrogative से declarative word order में बदलता है: "if she can prepare" की जगह "Can you prepare" नहीं। Pronouns नए perspective के अनुसार बदलते हैं: "you" → "she" (listener, Sunita) "me" → "him" (speaker, Rakesh) Vocative "Sunita" reporting verb के बाद indirect object बन जाती है। क्योंकि reporting verb present tense में है, modal "can" → "can" same रहता है (no backshift)। Quotation marks (" ") और question mark (?) हटा दिए जाते हैं।

aHe said that the sun rose in the east.

bHe says that the sun has risen in the east.

cHe says that the sun rises in the east.

dHe said that the sun rises in the east.

✓ Correct answer: c) He says that the sun rises in the east.

ExplanationSince the original sentence is "He says, 'The sun rises in the east.'", the reporting verb is in the present tense ("says"), not past tense.So the correct option is: C) He says that the sun rises in the east.Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the present tense ("says"), the tense in the reported clause usually stays the same."The sun rises" (present simple) remains "the sun rises." Options A and D use "He said" (past tense), which doesn’t match the original present tense "He says." Option B uses "has risen," which changes the meaning and tense unnecessarily.

bMy father said that they had been living there since the day that house had been built.

cMy father said that they have been living there since the day that house were built.

dMy father said that they have been living here since the day this house were being built.

✓ Correct answer: b) My father said that they had been living there since the day that house had been built.

ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option B — My father said that they had been living there since the day that house had been built.Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we need to make several changes: The reporting verb "said" remains the same.We add the conjunction "that" after the reporting verb.Pronouns change according to the new perspective: "We" (the speaker and his family) changes to "they" The tense shifts backward (backshift): Present perfect continuous "have been living" changes to past perfect continuous "had been living" Simple past passive "was built" changes to past perfect passive "had been built" Adverbs of place change: | | SSC "here" (near to the speaker) changes to "there" (distant from the reporter) Demonstrative pronouns change: "this house" changes to "that house" The time expression "since the day" remains the same as it's part of the clause structure.We remove the quotation marks.In Hinglish: Direct speech को indirect speech में बदलते समय हमें कुछ बदलाव करने पड़ते हैं: Reporting verb "said" same रहता है। Reporting verb के बाद conjunction "that" add किया जाता है। Pronouns नए perspective के अनुसार बदलते हैं: "We" → "they" (speaker और उसका family) Tense backward shift होता है (backshift): Present perfect continuous "have been living" → past perfect continuous "had been living" Simple past passive "was built" → past perfect passive "had been built" Adverbs of place बदलते हैं: "here" → "there" (speaker से दूर) Demonstrative pronouns बदलते हैं: "this house" → "that house" Time expression "since the day" same रहता है क्योंकि यह clause structure का हिस्सा है। Quotation marks (" ") हटा दिए जाते हैं।

aMy mother said that they had gone to a market that was five kilometers from here.

bMy mother said that they have gone to a market that was five kilometers from there.

cMy mother said that they had gone to a market that was five kilometres from there.

dMy mother said that they have gone to a market that was five kilometers from here.

✓ Correct answer: c) My mother said that they had gone to a market that was five kilometres from there.

ExplanationThe given statement is in direct narration.We must follow the rules given below to change it to indirect speech: The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, therefore the tense of the reported speech will be adjusted accordingly to the past tense.The past indefinite tense is transformed into the past perfect tense.The word denoting proximity will be replaced with words indicating a sense of distance so "here" will change to "there".The subject of the reported speech should be modified to align with the subject of the reporting verb, given that the reported speech contains a first- person plural pronoun.This suggests that the pronoun "we" should be replaced with the pronoun "they." The statement in indirect speech will be: My mother said that they had gone to a market that was five kilometres from there.
