Choose the correct indirect transformation of the given sentence from the options below:
The teacher said to the students, "Complete the assignment before tomorrow".
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
An imperative in direct speech becomes 'instructed/told + object + to-infinitive' in indirect speech, and 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day'. Option 3 makes both changes correctly. Option 1 retains 'tomorrow', option 2 uses a faulty 'that they should' structure for a command, and option 4 keeps direct-speech form.
