Question

Convert the given sentence into Direct Speech :
My brother said that he would help me with my homework.

• A. My brother said, “ I will help him with his homework ”
• B. My brother said, “ I will help you with your homework ”
• C. My brother said,“ I would help you with your homework ”
• D. My brother said, “ I shall help you with his homework ”

Hint:

When converting back to direct speech, put yourself in the shoes of the speaker.
Ask: "What exact words came out of his mouth?"
The brother would look at 'me' and say: "I will help you..." rather than speaking in the third person.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the pronoun changes.
In the indirect sentence, he refers to the brother speaking, so in direct speech he becomes I. Me becomes you, and my homework becomes your homework.
Step 2: Identify the tense shift reversal.
Would help in indirect speech was the backshift of will help. Reversing it, the direct speech should use will help.
Step 3: Confirm option 2.
I will help you with your homework correctly reverses all pronoun and tense changes.
\[ \boxed{\text{I will help you with your homework}} \]
