Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Convert the following sentence to indirect speech: 'She said, I am going to the market.'
  • Step 1: Identify the reporting verb. In this case, it is 'said'.
  • Step 2: Change the quotation marks to indirect speech format. Remove the quotation marks around 'I am going to the market.'
  • Step 3: Change the pronoun 'I' to 'she' because we are reporting what she said.
  • Step 4: Change the present continuous tense 'am going' to past continuous tense 'was going'.
  • Step 5: Combine everything to form the indirect speech: 'She said that she was going to the market.'
  • Indirect Speech – Indirect speech involves reporting what someone else has said without quoting their exact words, often requiring changes in tense, pronouns, and time expressions.
  • Tense Change – In indirect speech, the present continuous tense (e.g., 'I am going') changes to the past continuous tense (e.g., 'she was going').
