Correct Answer: Rahul told Mohit that he was taking his family to Kashmir for a vacation the following day
Solution : The first option is correct.
Direct speech is a form of speech or writing where the actual words spoken by a person are quoted within quotation marks and attributed to the speaker.
Narration conversion:
- The first person pronoun "I" changes to a third person pronoun "he" in the indirect speech.
- "Said to" will get replaced with "told".
- The present continuous tense "am talking" changes to the past continuous tense "was talking".
- "Tomorrow" will be replaced with the "following day".
Therefore, the indirect form would be: Rahul told Mohit that he was taking his family to Kashmir for a vacation the following day .
