In the following Twenty seven questions, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect Speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech and mark your answer in the Answer sheet.

(Applicable only to the following question)

“They are late” she has already told us.

She has already told us (that) they are late.
She told us that they are late already.
She told us that they are already late.
She has already been telling us that they are late.
Explanation:

Options B and C can be eliminated because the expression ‘already told us’ is not in the direct speech, hence it should not be changed in the reported speech. Choice (D) is incorrect because the present perfect continuous tense ‘has been speaking" is incorrect here. Only Choice (A) is grammatically correct.
