DSSSB ASO 202626 Sep 2026Shift IINarration (Direct & Indirect Speech)

Identify the sentence with an error in the indirect speech transformation:

He said, 'I will meet you at the library.'

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) He said that he will meet you at the library.

Concept (Will → Would और Pronoun परिवर्तन): Reporting verb 'said' Past Tense (भूत काल) में हो तो 'will' बदलकर 'would' हो जाता है, और Pronoun 'you' का संबंध सुनने वाले से होता है, जिसे यहाँ बदलना आवश्यक है।
विकल्प (d), 'He said that he will meet you at the library', में 'will' और 'you' ज्यों के त्यों हैं, इसलिए यह स्पष्ट रूप से ग़लत है। विकल्प (c) का 'should' भी 'would' का सही स्थान नहीं लेता, पर उसका दोष विकल्प (d) जितना स्पष्ट नहीं है।
Exam trap: 'will' और 'you' को न बदलने की त्रुटि पहचानना; 'should' वाला निकट विकल्प भी भ्रम देता है।
Concept (Will → Would with Pronoun Shift): When the reporting verb 'said' is in the past tense, 'will' changes to 'would'. The pronoun 'you' refers to the listener, so it must change as well.
Option (d), 'He said that he will meet you at the library', keeps 'will' and 'you' unchanged, so the error is clear. Option (c), with 'should', does not give the right place of 'would' either, but its fault is less clear than that of option (d).
Exam trap: missing the errors in 'will' and 'you'. The nearby option with 'should' also causes confusion.
