Question:

Choose the correct indirect speech of: The captain said, "We will reach the camp before sunset."

1.
The captain said that we will reach the camp before sunset.
2.
The captain said that they will reach the camp before sunset.
3.
The captain told that they would reach the camp before sunset.
4.
The captain said that they would reach the camp before sunset.

Correct Answer: The captain said that they would reach the camp before sunset.

In indirect speech "will" shifts back to "would", the pronoun "we" changes to "they" to match the third-person reporter, and the conjunction "that" follows "said". Keeping "will" or using "told" without an object breaks the rule.
