‘’I’ll have a cup of tea,’’ my father said, ‘’Because I’m not hungry.’’ Which is the correct indirect speech?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Reporting verb past tense ('said') এ থাকায় Reported speech-এর tense-ও corresponding past tense-এ পরিবর্তিত হবে।
- Direct speech-এ 'will' থাকলে Indirect speech-এ তা would-এ পরিবর্তিত হয়।
- 'I am' present indefinite tense-এ আছে, তাই এটি past indefinite was-এ পরিবর্তিত হবে।
- First person 'I' reporting verb-এর subject 'my father' অনুযায়ী he হবে।
- অতএব, সঠিক বাক্যটি: My father said that he would have a cup of tea because he wasn't hungry.
