Rinu said, "I must go there." (Indirect)
Created: 1 month 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

Created: 1 month ago

He said that I would help you.
B
He said that he will help me.
C
He said that he would help me.
D
He said he would helped me.
Indirect Speech রূপান্তর:
Direct speech-এ will → Indirect speech-এ would
“I” → he (reporting verb “he said” অনুযায়ী)
“you” → me (যেহেতু বলা হয়েছিল তোমাকে সাহায্য করবো)
Indirect speech-এ কমা ও উক্তিচিহ্ন বাদ যায় এবং that বসে
সঠিক রূপ:
He said that he would help me.
বিকল্পগুলো:
(ক) “I” ও “you” পরিবর্তন হয়নি → ভুল
(খ) “will” পরিবর্তিত হয়নি → ভুল
(ঘ) “would helped” → ভুল (should be would + base verb)
