Question : Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.
Aryan told me that I knew where to find him.
Option 1: Aryan said to me, “You know where to find me.”
Option 2: Aryan said to me, “You knowing where to find me.”
Option 3: Aryan said to me, “You are known where to find me.”
Option 4: Aryan says to me, “You know where to find me.”
Correct Answer: Aryan said to me, “You know where to find me.”
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
To convert the given reported speech to direct speech, we need to maintain the original meaning while adjusting the pronouns and verb tense.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "told" is changed to "said" in direct speech.
- The first-person pronoun "I" is changed to the second-person pronoun "you".
- And the third-person pronoun "him" is changed to the first-person pronoun "me".
- The simple past tense "knew" is changed to its present tense form "know".
- The conjunction "that" is removed.
- The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Aryan said to me, “You know where to find me."
