Immigration in Hindi
Advanced reported speech is essential for discussing immigration policy — newspapers report statements from politicians and officials, requiring tense back-shift.
Direct to reported speech:
- Direct: मंत्री ने कहा, "हम शरणार्थियों को स्वीकार करेंगे।"
- Reported: मंत्री ने कहा कि वे शरणार्थियों को स्वीकार करेंगे।
Tense changes in reported speech:
- Present → Imperfect: "वह आता है" → उसने कहा कि वह आता था।
- Future → Conditional: "मैं जाऊँगा" → उसने कहा कि वह जाएगा।
