Question

Tap the sentence that correctly reports the given sentence.

Direct speech: The shopkeeper suggested, ‘You should go through our booklet first’.

• A. The shopkeeper suggested that you should go through their booklet first.
• B. The shopkeeper suggested that I should go through their booklet first.
• C. The shopkeeper told to go through our booklet.
• D. The shopkeeper said, ‘I suggest you go through their booklet first’.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The shopkeeper suggested that I should go through their booklet first.

‘The shopkeeper suggested that I should go through their booklet first’ is the correct sentence. Here, the possessive adjective ‘our’ in direct speech changes to ‘their’ because the booklet belongs to the shopkeeper and I am the person reporting what the shopkeeper suggested.
