Choose the correct form of Indirect Speech of the sentence :
Samir said to us, "You have done this work well."
Answer: C
The indirect speech is Samir told us that we had done that work well.
Converting to indirect speech with a past reporting verb follows set rules: said to us becomes told us, the clause is joined with that, the pronoun you becomes we because Samir was speaking to us, the present perfect have done moves back to the past perfect had done, and this becomes that.
The other options change who did the work or drop the reporting structure: 'Samir has done this work well' makes Samir the doer, and the remaining two keep direct word order without the tense and pronoun changes.
