Question:

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

Sania said to me, “Tomorrow is my convocation.”

Options:

Sania told to me that the next day is her convocation.

Sania told me that the next day was her convocation.

Sania told me that tomorrow was her convocation.

I told Sania that her convocation was the next day.

Correct Answer:

Sania told me that the next day was her convocation.

Explanation:

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

Sania told me that the next day was her convocation.

The other options are incorrect:

  • Sania told to me that the next day is her convocation. This is incorrect because we do not use the preposition "to" after the reporting verb "said".
  • I told Sania that her convocation was the next day. This is incorrect because the speaker is reporting what Sania said, not what they said themselves.
