How is the following sentence in DIRECT speech incorrect? - john said, “How are you today?”
Answer: D
Correct answer: Missing capital letters outside inverted commas
john begins the sentence and is a proper noun, so it needs a capital on both counts - and it stands outside the inverted commas. Inside them the quoted sentence already begins correctly with How, the comma after the reporting clause is present, and the marks themselves are there.
