English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)
Options:
- She said that she liked music.
- She said that I liked music.
- She said she like music.
- She says she liked music.
Right Answer: She said that she liked music.
The reporting verb is in the past tense, so the simple present tense "like" changes to the simple past tense "liked" in indirect speech. The pronoun "I" changes to "she" because it refers to the speaker. Hence, "She said that she liked music" is correct. The remaining options contain incorrect pronouns, incorrect verb forms, or an inappropriate reporting verb, making them grammatically incorrect.
