English Narration Narration Change Assertive and Interrogative sentence Question #7361 (CAT-I)

Change the narration: My friend said, "When will you return from your trip?"

A My friend asked when I would return from my trip.

B My friend inquired that when I will return from my trip.

C My friend asked me when I would return from my trip.

D My friend said when I would return from my trip.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option C

• For interrogative sentences, 'said' changes to 'asked' or 'inquired'. Since there's an implied listener ('you'), 'asked me' is appropriate. • The Wh-word 'when' acts as the connector. • The sentence structure changes from interrogative to assertive (subject + verb), so 'will you return' becomes 'I would return'. • 'Will' changes to 'would' in indirect speech when the reporting verb is in the past tense. • 'Your' changes to 'my' to match the new subject 'I'.
