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.
