·
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.
