They said,"
We went to the zoo yesterday (change the narration)
Answers
"They told that they had gone to the zoo the day before".
The given sentence is given in the form of the speech or a dialogue which is spoken by "they" who are given in the sentence.
We have to change the narration to indirect speech such as we tell how it was heard by us.
The sentence says that the people had spoken about going to the zoo the day before the sentence was spoken.
Hence to change the narration, we will go about speaking that they told that they had gone to the zoo the day before as that is what we speak or report.
Hence the correct narration change will be:
They told that they had gone to the zoo the day before.
They told that they had gone to the zoo the day before
Explanation:
- There are ‘two types of speech’: ‘direct’ in which ‘the speaker is saying the sentences’ and ‘indirect speech’ where the ‘sentences are said by someone’ other than the speaker.
- ‘Indirect speech’ is like quoting someone. In ‘indirect speech’ the word That is added in the sentence, the ‘simple present tense’ is changed into ‘simple past tense’, the ‘quotations are removed’ and the word ‘yesterday is changed into the day before’.
