Question : Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
She said, “She must leave all the bad habits.”
Option 1: She said she has to leave all the bad habits
Option 2: She said that she must have leave all the bad habits
Option 3: She said that she had to leave all the bad habits.
Option 4: She said that she could leave all the bad habits
Correct Answer: She said that she had to leave all the bad habits.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
In this case:
The reporting verb "said" remains unchanged.
The pronoun "she" is retained but shifted from the first person to the third person.
The verb "must" changes to "had to" to reflect the past tense in the reported speech.
The rest of the sentence remains consistent with the original statement.
Therefore, the correct answer will be: "She said that she had to leave all the bad habits."
