Change the following sentence into the Indirect speech by choosing the appropriate option :

Abdul said, "I saw this film yesterday".

Abdul said that he had seen that film the day before.

The correct answer is:

Abdul said that he had seen that film the day before.

When changing from direct to indirect speech, we need to:

• Remove the quotation marks and punctuation.
• Change the verb tenses to match the tense of the reporting verb.
• Change the pronouns to match the perspective of the reporter.

In the given sentence, the reporting verb is "said" which is in the past tense. Therefore, the verb tense in the indirect speech should also be in the past perfect tense.

The pronoun "this" in the direct speech refers to the film that Abdul saw. Therefore, in the indirect speech, we should change it to "that" since the reporter is talking about the film from the perspective of the past.
