Q31. Choose the correct indirect speech.

He said, "I shall finish the work tomorrow."

Right Answer: He said that he would finish the work the next day.

The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, so the modal verb "shall" changes to "would" in indirect speech. The time expression "tomorrow" also changes to "the next day" or "the following day." The pronoun "I" changes to "he" because it refers to the speaker. Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "He said that he would finish the work the next day." The other options either fail to change the tense, omit the required time change, or are grammatically incomplete.

Q32. Choose the correct indirect speech.

The judge said, "The witness must tell the truth."

Right Answer: Both A and B

The modal verb "must" may either remain unchanged or change to "had to" in indirect speech depending on whether it expresses obligation. Both forms are considered grammatically acceptable in modern English. Therefore, both Option A and Option B correctly express the reported speech. Option C is grammatically incorrect because it omits necessary words and does not follow the proper structure of indirect narration.

Q33. Choose the correct indirect speech.

He said, "What a beautiful painting!"

Right Answer: He exclaimed with admiration that it was a very beautiful painting.

The sentence is exclamatory and expresses admiration. In indirect speech, such sentences are generally reported using the reporting verb "exclaimed with admiration." The exclamatory form changes into a statement introduced by "that." The expression "What a beautiful painting!" becomes "it was a very beautiful painting." The remaining options either omit important grammatical elements or fail to express the emotion conveyed in the original sentence.

Q34. Choose the correct indirect speech.

She said, "Would you like some coffee?"

Right Answer: She offered me some coffee.

Although the sentence is in the form of a question, its real purpose is to make an offer. In indirect speech, offers are reported using verbs such as "offered." Therefore, the correct transformation is "She offered me some coffee." The other options either change the intended meaning, use an incorrect tense, or fail to report the offer appropriately. Understanding the speaker's intention is essential while converting such sentences.

Q35. Choose the correct indirect speech.

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

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.

Q36. Choose the correct indirect speech.

The captain said, "March forward!"

Right Answer: The captain ordered them to march forward.

This is an imperative sentence expressing a command. Since a captain has the authority to issue commands, the reporting verb changes from "said" to "ordered." Imperative sentences are converted into indirect speech by using the infinitive form of the verb preceded by "to." Therefore, "March forward!" becomes "The captain ordered them to march forward." The remaining options either use an inappropriate reporting verb or contain incorrect grammatical structures.

Q37. Choose the correct indirect speech.

She said, "Could you open the window?"

Right Answer: She requested me to open the window.

Although the sentence is in the form of a question, its purpose is to make a polite request. Therefore, the reporting verb changes to "requested." The interrogative structure changes into an infinitive construction, resulting in "She requested me to open the window." The other options either change the intended meaning, omit important words, or fail to follow the correct grammatical pattern for reporting polite requests.

Q38. Choose the correct indirect speech.

The teacher said, "Who broke this chair?"

Right Answer: The teacher asked who had broken that chair.

This is a WH-question beginning with "Who." In indirect speech, the question word is retained, but the sentence changes from interrogative to statement order. Since the reporting verb is in the past tense, the simple past verb "broke" changes to the past perfect form "had broken." The demonstrative adjective "this" also changes to "that." Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "The teacher asked who had broken that chair."

Q39. Choose the correct indirect speech.

He said to me, "Why are you laughing?"

Right Answer: He asked me why I was laughing.

This sentence is an interrogative sentence beginning with the question word "Why." In indirect speech, the question word is retained, but the sentence changes to statement order. The present continuous tense "are laughing" changes to the past continuous tense "was laughing," and the pronoun "you" changes according to the listener. Therefore, the correct answer is "He asked me why I was laughing." The remaining options violate the rules of indirect narration.
Was this helpful?

Q40. Choose the correct indirect speech.

She said, "I had completed the project before you arrived."

Right Answer: She said that she had completed the project before I arrived.

The reported speech is already in the past perfect tense, so it does not undergo any further tense change in indirect speech. Only the pronouns are changed according to the context. Thus, "I" becomes "she," and "you" becomes "I" when the statement is reported by the listener. Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "She said that she had completed the project before I arrived." The remaining options either make unnecessary tense changes or are grammatically incorrect.
