Key Points
- The correct conversion from indirect to direct speech needs to accurately reflect the question's tense and structure.
- Option 2 correctly presents the direct form of the question maintaining the original tense and structure.
- In the direct format the past perfect tense of the verb is reversed to the present perfect tense and pronoun 'she' is reversed to ' I' as well.
- Format = Reported verb, + "Reported Speech"
Hence the correct statement is 'Amanda said to Mohit, ‘How have I offended your friend?’.
Additional Information
- Option 1 is incorrect due to the mismatched tense – “did” should be “have”.
- Option 3 is incorrect as it mirrors the indirect speech rather than converting to direct speech.
- Option 4 is grammatically incorrect as “offend” should be “offended”.
