Question

He said, “We have done our work." (Choose the correct indirect narration)​

Answer 1

Answer:

he told they had done their work

Answer 2

He said that they had done their work. -This is the correct form of indirect narration.

Explanation:

• When a sentence is changed into reported speech, the comma and quotation marks are removed.
• As it is reported, we use 'said that'.
• The person within the quotation marks will be changed accordingly. As it is given 'we', when it is reported, it becomes 'they'. 'Our work' becomes 'their work'.
• The tense must be changed into past tense. Therefore the verb 'have done' becomes 'had done'.
• Therefore the correct indirect narration of the direct speech given is: He said that they had done their work.
