Question

Convert the following into indirect speech. Rahul said, "I will come tomorrow afternoon to take my book."

• A. Rahul said that he will come tomorrow afternoon to take my book.
• B. Rahul said that he would come tomorrow afternoon to take my book.
• C. Rahul said that he would come the next day afternoon to take his book.
• D. Rahul said that he would come the next day afternoon to take my book.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Rahul said that he would come the next day afternoon to take his book.

The future tense ‘will’ changes into would when the reporting verb is in the past tense. Whereas the timing word ‘tomorrow’ changes into ‘next day’ and the demonstrative adjective ‘my’ into ‘his’. The sentence satisfies all the rules. റിപ്പോർട്ടിംഗ് ക്രിയ ഭൂതകാലത്തിലായിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഭാവി കാലമായ 'വിൽ' would ആയി മാറുന്നു. അതേസമയം 'നാളെ' എന്ന സമയ വാക്ക് 'അടുത്ത ദിവസം' ആയും 'എന്റെ' എന്ന പ്രകടന വിശേഷണം 'അവന്റെ' ആയും മാറുന്നു. വാക്യം എല്ലാ നിയമങ്ങളെയും തൃപ്തിപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു.
