In the following question, a question is given in Direct speech. Out of the four alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the sentence in Indirect speech. The teacher said to the student, "Milk is white". Correct Answer The teacher told the student that milk is white.

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. The teacher told the student that milk is white.

Explanation:

  • In the assertive statement 'said to' of direct speech changes into 'told' in indirect speech.
  • The comma (,) and inverted commas( ") are removed. and it becomes an assertive sentence.
  • Conjunction'that' is used.
  • 'Milk is white' is a universal fact. So no change in verb will be done.​​
     

Important Point:

  • If the reported speech of the 'Direct speech' is a universal truth or scientific fact, its verb is not changed.​​

Eventually, we get the final sentence: " The teacher told the student that milk is white".
