Question

Change the following sentence into reported speech:




I went to my native town in coastal Karnataka.​

Answer 1

Answer:

She went to her native town in coastal Karnataka

Answer 2

'He had gone to his native town in coastal Karnataka.'

Explanation:-

• Here sentence that is:-I went to my native town in coastal Karnataka. is not clear because there is no Reporting Verb, so we can write as it is mentioned below.

• He said to me, "coastal to my native town in coastal Karnataka." Now we can write: He told me that he had gone to his native town in coastal Karnataka.

• We know 'told' is used instead of 'said to' and here 'had' (past perfect tense) has been used stead of past indefinite tense 'went' in the reported speech.

• Here 'that' in the indirect speech has been used as introductory conjunction.So according to the question, the reported speech is: 'He had gone to his native town in coastal Karnataka.'
