Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: He said, “I will meet you here tomorrow.”

Explanation

In indirect speech, words indicating time and place generally shift because the report is being made at a later time and, often, in a different place than the original statement. Since ‘here’ and ‘tomorrow’ would no longer make accurate sense from the reporter’s later perspective, they change to ‘there’ and ‘the next day,’ respectively, while the modal ‘will’ correctly backshifts to ‘would.’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
