Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
The teacher said, "We will go for a picnic tomorrow."
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'they would … tomorrow' में सर्वनाम और modal (रूपात्मक क्रिया) बदले। किंतु 'tomorrow' कथन-प्रस्तुति का दिन नहीं है, अतः यह 'the next day' बनता है।'they would … tomorrow' changed the pronoun and the modal; but 'tomorrow' is not the day of reporting, so it becomes 'the next day'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'we will … the next day' में समय-शब्द बदला। किंतु 'said' के बाद 'we' 'they' बनता है और 'will' 'would'।'we will … the next day' changed the time word; but 'we' becomes 'they' and 'will' becomes 'would' after 'said'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'they will … the following day' में सर्वनाम और समय-शब्द सही रहे। किंतु भूतकालिक reporting verb 'said' के बाद 'will' को 'would' होना चाहिए।'they will … the following day' got the pronoun and time word right; but after the past reporting verb 'said', 'will' must become 'would'.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) The teacher said that they would go for a picnic the next day.
said (past) ... We will ... tomorrow: यहाँ तीन चीज़ें बदलनी हैं।
Concept: सर्वनाम we -> they, modal (रूपात्मक क्रिया) will -> would और समय-शब्द tomorrow -> the next day।
✓
The teacher said that they would go for a picnic the next day.
they would go ... tomorrow में समय का शब्द tomorrow रह गया है, जो गलत है।
सरल अर्थ: शिक्षक ने कहा कि वे अगले दिन पिकनिक पर जाएँगे।
said (past) ... We will ... tomorrow
Three changes: pronoun we -> they, will -> would, and tomorrow -> the next day.
✓
The teacher said that they would go for a picnic the next day.
they would go ... tomorrow misses the time word.

C'we will … the next day' में समय-शब्द बदला। किंतु 'said' के बाद 'we' 'they' बनता है और 'will' 'would'।'we will … the next day' changed the time word; but 'we' becomes 'they' and 'will' becomes 'would' after 'said'.
D'they will … the following day' में सर्वनाम और समय-शब्द सही रहे। किंतु भूतकालिक reporting verb 'said' के बाद 'will' को 'would' होना चाहिए।'they will … the following day' got the pronoun and time word right; but after the past reporting verb 'said', 'will' must become 'would'.
