English Narration Narration Change Assertive and Interrogative sentence Question #7328 (CAT-I)

Change the narration: He said, "I can swim across the river."

A He said that he could swim across the river.

B He told that he can swim across the river.

C He said that I could swim across the river.

D He asked if he could swim across the river.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option A

• The reporting verb 'said' remains 'said' as there is no object. • The conjunction 'that' is used. • The pronoun 'I' changes to 'he'. • The modal verb 'can' changes to 'could' when the reporting verb is in the past tense. So, options B, C, and D are incorrect for not following these rules.

Change the narration: He said, "I can swim across the river."
