A He said that his brother had gone to Mumbai the previous year.

B He said that his brother went to Mumbai last year.

C He told that his brother had gone to Mumbai the previous year.

D He said that my brother had gone to Mumbai the previous year.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option A

• For an assertive sentence, 'said' remains 'said' and the connector 'that' is used. • The possessive pronoun 'my' changes to 'his' (referring to 'he'). • The simple past tense 'went' changes to past perfect 'had gone' because the reporting verb 'said' is in the past tense. • The time expression 'last year' changes to 'the previous year' in indirect speech.

Change the narration: He said, "My brother went to Mumbai last year."
