Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: Gloria said that his relatives were landing the next day.
Key Points
- The sentence in the Direct Speech is in Present Continuous Tense. Therefore, the sentence in the Indirect Speech should be in Past Continuous Tense.
- Present Continuous (Subject + is/am/are + V1 +ing + Object) should be converted into Past Continuous (Subject + was/were + V1 + ing + Object).
- For example:
- He said, “I am checking the assignment.” (Direct Speech)
- He said that he was checking the assignment. (Indirect Speech)
- The following things in the sentence should change when changed from Direct speech to Indirect Speech:
- 'said' is changed into 'said that'.
- 'tomorrow' is changed into 'the next day'.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Gloria said that his relatives were landing the next day.
