Discussion
Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech. Bindu said, "I'm very tired now."
Answer: A
The reported speech is 'Bindu said that she was very tired then.'
In reported speech after 'said' (past) the present 'am' changes to 'was', 'I' becomes 'she' and 'now' becomes 'then'.
Options B and D keep 'is', and C and D use the faulty 'was been' and 'is been'.
Several changes are needed for reported speech: the tense moves back (am becomes was), the pronoun moves from 'I' to 'she', and the time word 'now' becomes 'then'. Only option A makes all three changes correctly without adding extra words.
