Bihar Police Constable Model Paper 4

• The given sentence is in Direct Speech. As per the given question we have to change it into Indirect Speech.
• The process of transformation as follows:
  • 'Said to' will be changed into 'Told' because the reporting verb has an object.
  • Comma and inverted commas will be removed.
  • The conjunction 'That' will be added.
  • We know that first-person pronouns (I, We) are changed according to the subject of the reporting verb. Therefore, 'I' will be changed into 'She'.
  • 'Am very disappointed' will be changed into 'was very disappointed'.
  • We know that the second person pronoun (you) is changed according to the object of the reporting verb. Therefore, 'Your' will be changed into 'Her'.
• Therefore, by reading the above explanation we find that the correct answer is Option 2.

​Thus, the sentence becomes: The teacher told Anu that she was very disappointed with her work.
