Identify the correct sentence in reported speech: She said, “I will come tomorrow.”

1. She said she would come tomorrow.
2. She said she will come the next day.
3. She said she would come the next day.
4. She told she would come tomorrow.

Correct answer: She said she would come the next day.

Solution

In indirect speech, 'will' changes to 'would' and 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day'. The reporting verb remains 'said' because no object is needed.
