Question : Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
He said to me, “Your father is waiting for you at the reception.”
Option 1: He told me that your father was waiting for him at the reception.
Option 2: He told me that his father was waiting for you at the reception.
Option 3: He told to me my father was waiting for you at the reception.
Option 4: He told me that my father was waiting for me at the reception.
Correct Answer: He told me that my father was waiting for me at the reception.
Solution : The segment with the correct indirect form is the fourth option.
Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech, changes in pronouns and tenses are common. In this case, the original sentence is in direct speech, and the reported speech correctly changes the pronouns to reflect the perspective of the speaker ("me" to "him" and "your" to "his"). Additionally, the tense of the verb "was waiting" is adjusted to match the context of reporting.
So, the correct sentence would be: "He told me that my father was waiting for me at the reception."
