Choose the correct indirect speech of "She said to me, What are you doing?"
A She asked me what I am doing
B She told me what you were doing
C She asked me what I was doing
D She asked me what were you doing
Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Interrogative sentence-কে direct থেকে indirect speech-এ পরিবর্তন করার নিয়ম:
- said to পরিবর্তিত হয়ে asked হয়।
- Inverted comma উঠে গিয়ে wh-word (এখানে what) অপরিবর্তিত অবস্থায় বসে।
- Reporting verb past tense-এ থাকায় Reported speech-এর tense পরিবর্তন হয়ে Present Continuous থেকে Past Continuous (was/were + verb+ing) হবে।
- Person পরিবর্তন: 'you' (second person) object 'me'-কে অনুসরণ করে I হবে।
সুতরাং সঠিক indirect speech হবে: She asked me what I was doing.
