What is the correct indirect form of sentence: He said, ‘’The train reached at nine.’’
A He said that the train has reached at nine
B He said that the train had reached at nine
C He said that the train reached at nine
D He said that train reached at nine
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Direct Speech-এর Reporting verb (said) Past Tense-এ থাকলে Reported speech-এর Tense পরিবর্তন হয়।
মূল বাক্যের 'reached' হলো Past Indefinite Tense।
নিয়ম অনুযায়ী Past Indefinite পরিবর্তিত হয়ে Past Perfect Tense (had + V3) হয়, তাই 'had reached' হয়েছে।
Conjunction হিসেবে Inverted comma উঠে গিয়ে that বসবে।
