Correct Answer:
B. He said he would come the next day
Converting direct speech to indirect speech involves changes in tenses, pronouns, and certain time and place adverbs. The original sentence, "I will come tomorrow," contains the future simple tense ("will come") and the time adverb "tomorrow."
- B: He said he would come the next day is the correct answer. In reported speech, "will" typically changes to "would," and "tomorrow" changes to "the next day" or "the following day." The pronoun "I" also correctly changes to "he."
- A: He said he will come tomorrow is incorrect because it fails to change both "will" to "would" and "tomorrow" to "the next day."
- C: He said he would come tomorrow is incorrect because while "will" is correctly changed to "would," the time adverb "tomorrow" is not changed to "the next day."
- D: He said he comes next day is incorrect. The tense "comes" (simple present) is wrong; it should be "would come." Although "next day" is an acceptable change for "tomorrow," the verb tense makes this option incorrect.
