Question

He told me that he ________ resign next month.

• A. Shall
• B. Can
• C. Will
• D. Would

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Would

The reporting verb told is in the past tense, so the future auxiliary will changes to would in reported (indirect) speech.

• Direct Speech: He said, "I will resign next month."

• Indirect Speech: He told me that he would resign the following month.
