She said, “My brother is expected to be back today.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: She said that her brother was expected to be back that day.

    Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the present indefinite tense (simple present tense), then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past indefinite tense.

    Present Indefinite Tense > Past Indefinite Tense.
