Change into indirect speech: He said, “I am reading a book.”

  • A.He said that he was reading a book
  • B.He said that he is reading a book
  • C.He said that I was reading a book
  • D.He said that he has been reading a book

Answer: A

Correct answer: He said that he was reading a book

The reporting verb is in the past, so the present continuous shifts back to the past continuous, and the pronoun I becomes he to match the speaker. The conjunction that introduces the reported clause and the quotation marks disappear.
