Choose the correct indirect speech.
She said, "Hurrah! We have won the match."
Options:
- She exclaimed with sorrow that they had won.
- She exclaimed with joy that they had won the match.
- She said with joy they won.
- She exclaimed that they win.
Right Answer: She exclaimed with joy that they had won the match.
The interjection "Hurrah!" expresses happiness or celebration. Therefore, the reporting verb changes to "exclaimed with joy." Since the reporting verb is in the past tense, the present perfect tense "have won" changes to the past perfect tense "had won." The pronoun "we" changes to "they" according to the speaker. Thus, the correct indirect speech is "She exclaimed with joy that they had won the match."This question is part of English Grammar - Narration, which has 35 practice questions with answers.
