Question

Change the speech: "Wait there till I get back please." she told the boys.

• A. She requested the boys to wait there till she would return
• B. She asked the boys to wait till I come back
• C. She requested the boys to wait there till she got back
• D. She requested the boys to wait there till she comes back

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Option A: "Would return" is not the correct backshifted form of "get back."
2. Option B: The pronoun "I" and the tense are both left unchanged incorrectly.
3. Option C: Reporting verb, pronoun, and tense all shift correctly.
4. Option D: The tense is not backshifted, leaving "comes back."

The correct reported form is she requested the boys to wait there till she got back.
