Vidhya said to Nandinee, "Gayatri will leave for her native place tomorrow.''

• A. Vidhya told Nandinee that Gayatri would leave for her native place tomorrow.
• B. Vidhya told Nandinee that Gayatri left for her native place the next day.
• C. Vidhya told Nandinee that Gayatri would be leaving for her native place tomorrow.
• D. Vidhya told Nandinee that Gayatri would leave for her native place the next day.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Vidhya told Nandinee that Gayatri would leave for her native place the next day.

While converting from direct speech to indirect speech, "will" becomes "would" and "tomorrow" becomes "the next day".

Indirect speech is : Vidhya told Nandinee that Gayatri would leave for her native place the next day.
