In this Direct and Indirect Speech question, convert the direct question "Sahil said to me, 'Where will you go this holiday?'" into its correct Indirect Speech form.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests your ability to change a wh question in Direct Speech into Indirect Speech. The given sentence is: Sahil said to me, "Where will you go this holiday?" You need to apply the rules for reporting wh questions, including tense change, pronoun change and the adjustment of time expressions like this holiday.

Given Data / Assumptions:

- Direct question: Where will you go this holiday? - Reporting clause: Sahil said to me. - Reporting verb is in the past tense: said. - Wh word: where introduces the question. - Time expression: this holiday, relative to the time of speaking.

Concept / Approach:
For wh questions, we keep the wh word (where, what, why and so on) in indirect speech. The reporting verb said to usually changes to asked when a question is being reported. Because the reporting verb is in the past, the future tense will go changes to would go. The pronoun you becomes I, because the speaker reporting is the person originally addressed. The expression this holiday changes to that holiday to reflect the shift in time and perspective. The word order in the reported clause should be subject then verb, not the inverted question order used in direct speech.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
To verify, convert the indirect sentence back into direct speech. From Sahil asked me where I would go that holiday, change would go back to will go, change that holiday to this holiday, and restore direct question format with a question mark. The sentence becomes: Sahil said to me, "Where will you go this holiday?" which is the same as the original, confirming the correctness of the indirect sentence.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option B keeps will go instead of converting it to would go, which is not correct after a past reporting verb. Option C also keeps will and uses a continuous form will be going, which changes the aspect unnecessarily. Option D is ungrammatical in English because would gone is not a valid form. Option E uses would be going, which again introduces a progressive aspect when the original sentence simply uses will go. The clearest and most accurate transformation is option A, which correctly uses would go and that holiday.

Common Pitfalls:
Students often forget to change said to asked for questions, or they remove the wh word and wrongly use if or whether. Another common error is to keep will unchanged, ignoring the need for tense backshift to would. Learners sometimes also overlook changes in deictic expressions like this and that, leading to incorrect time or context references. Always check four things in reported questions: the reporting verb, the wh word, the tense of the main verb and the relevant pronouns or time expressions.

Final Answer:
The correct indirect speech form is Sahil asked me where I would go that holiday.
