Sophia said that she may come.

  • In general, the speech is about reflecting about the past. The verbs and subjects in a sentence are changed when it is turned to indirect speech.
  • Some of the verbs used are - said, asked, advised, decide, apologise, agree etc.
  • For example, Rose says, “I eat an orange a day.” is a direct speech, whereas Rose says that she eats an orange a day is an indirect speech.
  • Thus, the correct sentence is - Sophia said that she may come.

Answer:

Sophia said that she may come.

Explanation:

Here we are asked to convert the given sentence into reported speech. The given sentence is- Sophia said, "I might come "

  • What is reported speech? Reported speech is the form in which one can convey a message said by oneself or someone else, mostly in the past. It can also be said to be the third person view of what someone has said. In this form of speech, you need not use quotation marks as you are not quoting the exact words spoken by the speaker, but just conveying the message.
  • The first thing you have to keep in mind is that you need not use any quotation marks as you are not using the exact words of the speaker.
  • You can use the following formula to construct a sentence in the reported speech.
  • You can use verbs like said, asked, requested, ordered, complained, exclaimed, screamed, told, etc. If you are just reporting a declarative sentence, you can use verbs like told, said, etc. followed by ‘that’ and end the sentence with a full stop. When you are reporting interrogative sentences, you can use the verbs – enquired, inquired, asked, etc. and remove the question mark. In case you are reporting imperative sentences, you can use verbs like requested, commanded, pleaded, ordered, etc. If you are reporting exclamatory sentences, you can use the verb exclaimed and remove the exclamation mark. Remember that the structure of the sentences also changes accordingly.
  • Furthermore, keep in mind that the sentence structure, tense, pronouns, modal verbs, some specific adverbs of place and adverbs of time change when a sentence is transformed into indirect/reported speech.
