Which is the correct indirect speech of the following sentence ?
She said, "I did my work".

Detailed Solution for Test: Narration - Question 7

The correct answer is "She said that she had done her work."
 In the given sentence the reporting verb has no object. Hence, 'said' will not be changed.  Comma and inverted commas will be removed.  The conjunction 'that' will be added. 'I' will be changed into 'she' because the first person pronoun is changed according to the subject of the reporting verb. 'did not enjoy' will be changed into 'had not enjoyed' because the simple past tense changes into the past perfect tense.
