In the following question, a sentence is given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech. The student said to me,"Good morning". Correct Answer The student wished me good morning

The correct answer is option 2)

  • In case of wishes and greetings(imperative sentence), the change from direct speech to indirect speech is brought about by changing 'said' to 'wished' and if it begins with a prayer, said is changed to, 'Let'.
  • The reported verb in the sentence is wished and the wish is kept intact as in direct speech.
  • 'Exclaimed in grief' or 'sorrow' is used in case of exclamatory sentence, which represents any saddening thought in narration.

Following the rules above we get: "The student wished me good morning"
