    Change into indirect speech. Direct: “He said, ‘I will help you tomorrow.’”
    Question

    Change into indirect speech.
    Direct: “He said, ‘I will help you tomorrow.’”

    A.

    He said he will help me the next day.

    B.

    He told that he would help me tomorrow.

    C.

    He said he would help me yesterday.

    D.

    He said that he would help me the next day.

    Correct option is D

    Direct Speech:
    • Direct speech expresses the exact words spoken by the speaker, enclosed within quotation marks.

    Indirect Speech (Reported Speech):
    • Indirect speech reports what someone said without using the exact words.
    • Pronouns, tense, and time expressions are changed according to the context.

    Correct Answer:
    • The correct indirect speech is option (d).
    • He said that he would help me the next day.

    Explanation:
    • The reporting verb is “said”, and the reported speech is a simple future statement.
    • “will” changes to “would” in indirect speech because the reporting verb is in the past.
    • The pronoun “I” changes to “he”.
    • The pronoun “you” changes to “me” according to the listener.
    • The time word “tomorrow” changes to “the next day”.

    Rules Applied in Conversion (Direct → Indirect):
    • Pronoun Change:
    o I → he
    o you → me
    • Tense Change:
    o will → would
    • Time Change:
    o tomorrow → the next day
    • Conjunction:
    o “that” is used to join the clauses in indirect speech.

    Explanation in Hindi:
    • Direct speech को indirect speech में बदलते समय pronoun, tense और time expression बदले जाते हैं।
    • “I” का परिवर्तन “he” में हुआ है।
    • “will” का परिवर्तन “would” में हुआ है।
    • “tomorrow” का परिवर्तन “the next day” में हुआ है।

    Explanation of Other Options:
    • (a): “will” should change to “would” in indirect speech.
    • (b): “told that” is incorrect structure, and “tomorrow” should change.
    • (c): “yesterday” is an incorrect time change.

    So the correct answer is (d)
