Rinu said, "I must go there." (Indirect)
Created: 2 weeks ago
A
Rinu said that I must go there.
B
Rinu said that he must go there.
C
Rinu said that he had to go there.
D
Rinu said that he must had to go there.
Explanation:
When converting direct speech to indirect speech (assertive sentences):
-
Remove the quotation marks and introduce a conjunction like that after the reporting verb (said, told).
-
Change the pronouns according to the subject and object.
-
Adjust the tense if the reporting verb is in the past:
-
Modal verbs like must generally change to had to in the past tense, unless expressing eternal truths.
-
Example:
-
Direct: Kalim said, "I must go there."
-
Indirect: Kalim said that he had to go there.
Other options are wrong because:
-
ক) “I” is not changed to “he” → incorrect pronoun
-
খ) “must” is unchanged → past context usually requires had to
-
ঘ) “must had to” → grammatically incorrect; two modal verbs cannot be used together
