Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: She said, “I will be traveling next week.”
AShe said that she would be traveling the following week.
BShe said that she will be traveling next week.
CShe said that she is traveling the following week.
DShe said that she would travel the following week.
Explanation
When the direct speech is in the future continuous tense, such as ‘will be traveling,’ it backshifts to ‘would be traveling’ in indirect speech, preserving the sense of an ongoing planned action. The time expression ‘next week’ also changes to ‘the following week,’ since the report is being made from a later point in time. Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
