Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct / indirect) of the given sentence.
Nidhi said to Meena, "You can pull the box to the main door.”
Answer
Correct Answer : c ) Nidhi told Meena that she could pull the box to the main door.
Explanation :The given sentence is in direct speech; we need to change it to indirect.
In the case of indirect speech following changes are done:
● In direct narration, after the subject (she), ‘can’ is used with ‘first form of verb’,
● Then we change "can" to "could" + First form of verb.
● All the present modals (can) change to past modals (could).
● ‘You’ (second person) changes as per the object of the reporting speech (i.e., Meena)
● Commas and inverted commas are omitted, and ‘that’ is placed.
The indirect form is – ‘Nidhi told Meena that she could pull the box to the main door.’
Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
