Indirect Speech
A. My grandmother prayed that I might live long.
Explanation:
- When a sentence is changed from the direct to indirect speech first and foremost the tense of the sentence is changed.
- The present tense is changed to the past tense.
- Depending on the content of the sentence the reporting verb is changed to a more suitable verb.
- In the given sentence, the grandmother expresses a prayer. So the reported verb changes to ‘prayed’.
- The tense of the direct speech is present as expressed through the word ‘may’ while changing it into indirect speech the verb changes to ‘might’.
- So the correct option is: A. My grandmother prayed that I might live long.
