Question

change direct to indirect "could you lend me some money? he said to his uncle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The given sentence is a condition.

According to the rules of Narration and Reporting, in a conditional sentence the present indefinite tense of “if” clause changes into the past indefinite tense. Therefore, 'lend' changes into 'could lend'. In the result clause the verb takes 'would have' or 'have' with it. The pronoun 'you' changes into 'he'.

Thus in indirect speech, the sentence must be,

I said if he could lend me the money I needn't have to go the bank.

Thus option D is the correct answer.

Options A,B,C are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting
