Question

Rewrite the sentences in direct speech
4. He told me he had been sick for the last five days.​

Answer 1

Answer:

He told me he was sick for the last five days.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Correct option is A)

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).

In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.

In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.

Option A is correct as the sentence in the inverted commas is in the simple past tense, so, after transformation, the reported speech is in the past perfect tense.

Options B,C, and D are wrong 'I', 'saw' and 'been' cannot be used respectively.

The correct answer is A)He said that he had seen her two days before.
