Thanks for the ans
Thanks
It was helpful
It was very helpful
It was really heplful
Very helpful.It helped in exam
It helped me very much.
The questions were good for revision before finals but they would have been better if direct speeches containing answer questions like ( he asked,” where has suransh gone?”). In such type of questions me and my classmates often get confused as we always forget to write ‘has’ after the name ‘suresh’ otherwise the statement would get converted into a question. The answer would be: He asked where Suresh has gone.
THANKS FOR HEARING ME OUT…
Actually, the answer should be ‘He asked where Suresh had gone’. When a report, a present perfect in the direct speech changes into a past perfect in the indirect speech.
