English Narration Narration Change Assertive and Interrogative sentence Question #7321 (CAT-I)

Change the narration: My friend said to me, "Where did you go yesterday?"

A My friend asked me where I had gone the previous day.

B My friend asked me where I went yesterday.

C My friend told me where I had gone the day before.

D My friend inquired me where did I go the previous day.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option A

• For an interrogative sentence with a Wh-word, the reporting verb 'said to' changes to 'asked' or 'inquired'. • The Wh-word itself ('where') acts as the connector. So, option C is incorrect as 'told' is used. • The sentence structure changes from interrogative to assertive (Subject + Verb). So, 'did you go' becomes 'I had gone'. • The tense 'did you go' (Simple Past) changes to 'I had gone' (Past Perfect) in indirect speech. • The time adverb 'yesterday' changes to 'the previous day' or 'the day before'. So, option B is incorrect for keeping 'yesterday'. Option D is incorrect for not changing the tense properly and keeping the interrogative structure 'did I go'.
