Question:

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

She said to me, “You will speak at the conference tomorrow.”

Options:

She told me that I would speak at the conference that day.

She told me that I might speak at the conference the next day.

She told me that I will speak at the conference the today.

She told me that I would speak at the conference the next day.

Correct Answer:

She told me that I would speak at the conference the next day.

Explanation:

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

She told me that I would speak at the conference the next day.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow these rules:

She told me that I would speak at the conference that day. - This sentence does not change the word "tomorrow" to "the next day."
She told me that I might speak at the conference the next day. - This sentence changes the future tense to the modal verb "might," which is less assertive.
She told me that I will speak at the conference the today. - This sentence does not change the future tense to the past tense for the auxiliary verb "will."
