Choose the correct indirect speech.

He said, "Let's go for a walk."

Options:

  1. He suggested going for a walk.
  2. He ordered going for a walk.
  3. He requested walking.
  4. He advised me walking.

Right Answer: He suggested going for a walk.

The expression "Let's" is generally used to make a suggestion. While changing such sentences into indirect speech, the reporting verb "suggested" is the most appropriate choice. The phrase "Let's go for a walk" becomes "suggested going for a walk" or "suggested that they should go for a walk." The remaining options are grammatically incorrect because they either misuse the reporting verb or fail to follow the proper structure of reported speech.
