1. He said that he will come tomorrow.
2. He said that he would come the next day.
3. He said that he will be coming the next day.
4. He said that he would be coming tomorrow.

Correct answer: He said that he would come the next day.

Solution

In indirect speech, “will” changes to “would” when the reporting verb is in the past tense. Also, “tomorrow” changes to “the next day.” Therefore, the correct sentence is “He said that he would come the next day.”
