Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct / indirect) of the given sentence.

Shubham said to me, " I had to blend the pulp and prepare the juice."

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) Shubham told me that he had had to blend the pulp and prepare the juice.

Explanation :

The given sentence is in direct speech; we need to change it to indirect.

In the case of indirect speech,

●      When Reporting verb, i.e. ‘said to’ in Past Tense and reported speech is having "had to" after subject + First Verb.

●      Then we change "had to" to "had had to" + First verb.

●      had to blend (direct) – had had to blend (indirect)

●      Reporting verb (said to) changes to ‘told’.

●      ‘I’ changes to ‘he’ as per the subject, i.e., ‘Shubham’.

The indirect form is – ‘Shubham told me that he had had to blend the pulp and prepare the juice.’

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
