Question

The Tourist said to the guide, 'I have liked Delhi very much.' Change this sentence into indirect speech.

Answer 1

The tourist said to the guide that he had liked Delhi very much.

Answer 2

Answer:

The indirect speech will be "The tourist told the guide that he had liked Delhi very much".

Explanation:

Indirect speech is a method of communicating what someone has said without using their exact words. It involves changing the tense, pronouns, and, in some cases, sentence structure to reflect the shift from direct to indirect speech.

To change the verb tense from present perfect to past tense and use reporting verbs and appropriate reporting structures, we need to change the sentence "I liked Delhi very much" from direct to indirect speech.

"The tourist told the guide that he had liked Delhi very much".

To reflect the shift from first to third person, we changed "I" to "he" in this sentence. We also changed "have liked" to "had liked" to reflect the verb's past tense. Finally, "told the guide" has been added to indicate that the tourist was speaking to someone else.

When reporting indirect speech, we frequently use reporting verbs such as "said," "told," "asked," or "exclaimed" to introduce the reported speech. Depending on the verb, these can be followed by a that clause, an infinitive.

In addition to changing the verb tense and pronouns, we may need to change the sentence structure to reflect the shift from direct to indirect.
