Answer 2

We are provided with a sentence that requires to be changed into indirect speech for which we are provided four options as answers from which we are asked to choose the correct answer. The correct answer to the indirect speech will be the third option that is provided to us.

• During the conversion from a quotation to an indirect speech, we are required to write the sentence in the past tense.
• As the first option contains the words are you coming which represents the present tense this cannot be the correct option.
• While converting the sentence into past tense we have to be careful not to change the meaning of the sentence.
• In the second option, the meaning of the sentence is changed so this also cannot be the correct answer.
• As the fourth option contains the words are they coming which represents the present tense this cannot be the correct option.
• So the correct option that represents the indirect speech of the statement provided will be the third option.
