    Question

    Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
    Priya assured me, “I can stay in tonight.”

    A.

    Priya told me that she could stay in this night.

    B.

    Priya told me that she could stay in that night.

    C.

    Priya told me that she could stay in tonight.

    D.

    Priya told me that she can stay in that night.

    Correct option is B

    Direct speech: Direct speech is a form of quoting someone's exact words or statements as they were spoken, usually enclosed within quotation marks.
    Indirect speech: Indirect speech is a way of conveying someone's words or statements without using their exact words, typically by rephrasing or reporting the original statement using appropriate verb tenses and pronouns.
    • The correct indirect form of the sentence is "Priya told me that she could stay in that night."
    • In the indirect form, the tense changes from present to past (can to could) and "tonight" changes to "that night" to reflect the change in perspective.
