Change the narration: He said, "Would that I had studied harder!"
Created: 3 weeks ago
A
He said if he studied harder.
B
He said would that he had studied harder.
C
He wished that he had studied harder.
D
He hoped he studies harder.
Direct speech: He said, "Would that I had studied harder!"
Indirect speech: He wished that he had studied harder.
Rule for converting exclamatory sentences expressing a wish:
-
If a sentence begins with If, O that, Oh that, Would that and expresses a wish, use wish in the indirect form.
-
Since the reporting verb is in the past tense (said), in indirect speech wish becomes wished.
-
The reported clause takes the past perfect tense after that.
Example according to the rule:
-
He wished that he had been rich.
