“I’m hungry” said the child to his mother.

The child told his mother that he was hungry.

The correct indirect form of the sentence is:

The child told his mother that he was hungry.

The other options are incorrect:

• The child told his mother that she was hungry. This is incorrect because the speaker is talking about themselves, not their mother.
• The child said his mother that he is hungry. This is incorrect because the reporting verb is "said" instead of "told".
• The child said to his mother that I am hungry. This is incorrect because the pronoun "I" should be replaced with "he".
