Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
The manager said to his assistant, "You will get a bonus next month."

Correct option is C

Direct speech: The exact words of the speaker are quoted, usually within inverted commas (e.g., She said, "I am tired.").
Indirect speech: The speaker’s words are reported without quoting exactly, often with changes in pronouns, tense, and word order (e.g., She said that she was tired.).
The correct indirect speech is (c) The manager told his assistant that he would get a bonus the following month.
Explanation:
· Reporting verb “said to” → changes to told
· “Will” → changes to would
· “Next month” → becomes the following month
· Pronoun “you” → becomes he (assistant)
Structure:
· Direct: said to + “You will...”
· Indirect: told + that + he would...
Correct The manager told his assistant that he would get a bonus the following month.
