Question 8
In the following question, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one, which best express the same sentence in the Indirect/Direct speech.
They said that they had won the competition.
Solution
The statement given is indirect speech and is in past perfect tense. So while converting to direct speech, the tense must be simple past tense. Also, ‘that’ must be removed in direct speech. Hence, the sentence in direct speech will be ‘They said, “We won the competition”.’
Hence, option A is the right choice.
