· Definition of Direct/Indirect Speech:
· Direct speech quotes the exact words spoken using quotation marks.
· Indirect speech reports what someone said without quoting them directly.
· Explanation:
· The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, so the verb in the reported clause changes accordingly:
· “will” → “would”
· “tomorrow” → “the following day”
· Grammatical rule used:
· Future Simple (Direct): Subject + will + verb
· Future Simple (Indirect): Subject + would + verb
· Time word “tomorrow” → “the following day”
· ✦ Hindi Rule: Direct से Indirect में बदलते समय यदि reporting verb past में हो तो ‘will’ को ‘would’ और ‘tomorrow’ को ‘the following day’ में बदलते हैं।
· Meanings of all other options:
· (b): ✘ Present reporting verb mismatch.
· (c): ✘ Wrong combination of tense and time word.
· (d): ✘ Mixing present and conditional forms wrongly.
