Rewrite the sentence in Indirect Speech.
You said, 'I’m a doctor.'

Correct option is D

Definition:
In indirect speech, verbs in present tense usually shift to past forms, and when describing states of being or professions, we often use past perfect for accuracy.
The correct indirect speech form of the sentence is (d) You said that you were a doctor.
Explanation: In the direct speech “I’m a doctor,” the verb “am” (present tense) changes to “were” (past tense) in indirect speech because the reporting verb “said” is in the past tense. Also, the pronoun "I" becomes "you" in the indirect sentence, maintaining agreement with the subject “you” in the reporting clause.
Grammatical rule used:
In indirect speech, present simple (am/is/are) changes to past simple (was/were) when the reporting verb is in the past tense. Pronouns also change according to the subject-object relationship.
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi:
जब reporting verb (said) past tense में होता है, तो direct speech में मौजूद present tense को past tense में बदल दिया जाता है। “I am” बदल जाता है “you were” में, अगर subject “you” हो।
Example:
Direct: She said, “I’m tired.”
Indirect: She said that she was tired.
