Choose the correct indirect speech.
He said, "You had better consult a doctor."
Options:
- He advised me to consult a doctor.
- He ordered doctor.
- He suggested doctor.
- D. He forced doctor.
Right Answer: He advised me to consult a doctor.
The expression "had better" is used to give advice or a strong recommendation. While changing such sentences into indirect speech, the reporting verb is changed to "advised." The expression "had better consult" is converted into the infinitive form "to consult," and the pronoun "you" changes according to the listener. Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "He advised me to consult a doctor." The remaining options are either incomplete or grammatically incorrect.This question is part of English Grammar - Narration, which has 35 practice questions with answers.
