Change the following sentence into reported speech and mark the correct option among the choices given: I said to him, “ your brother is a brave boy”.

Solution

Change the reporting verb ("said" in the direct speech) to "told" because it's more appropriate for reporting what one person said to another. Introduce the reporting clause with "that" to indicate that you are reporting what was said. Adjust the pronoun to reflect the perspective of the person you are reporting to. In this case, "him" in the direct speech remains "him" in the reported speech. Change the tense of the verb in the reported speech to match the tense used by the original speaker. "is" in the direct speech becomes "was" in the reported speech because it's indirect speech.
