Change the following sentence from Direct Speech to Indirect Speech.
He said to me, “I don’t believe your story at all.”

Correct option is B

Correct indirect speech: (b) He told me that he did not believe my story at all.
Definition (Direct Speech):
• Direct Speech → exact words in quotation marks (“ ”). (Hindi: सीधे वक्ता के शब्द)
Definition (Indirect Speech):
• Indirect/Reported Speech → reporting the words without quotes, with grammatical changes. (Hindi: अप्रत्यक्ष कथन)
Step-by-step conversion:
• “said to” → told (object “me” present).
• Remove quotes, add that.
• Pronouns: “I” (speaker) → he, “your” (listener = me) → my.
• Tense backshift: don’t believe (present) → did not believe (past).
• “at all” remains unchanged.
Grammatical rule (English):
• said to + object → told + object
• Past reporting verb ⇒ Present Indefinite → Past Indefinite
• Pronouns change as per speaker/listener.
व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
• Past reporting verb होने पर tense पीछे जाता है और pronoun वक्ता/श्रोता के अनुसार बदलते हैं।
Why other options are incorrect:
• (a) subject changes meaning (I did not believe…).
• (c) “believe in” गलत; “told me” missing.
• (d) awkward passive reporting; exam-standard नहीं।
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
