Question:

Select the correct indirect speech of: The witness said, "I saw the accused here yesterday."

1.
The witness said that he saw the accused there the previous day.
2.
The witness said that he had seen the accused here yesterday.
3.
The witness said that he had seen the accused there the previous day.
4.
The witness said that he has seen the accused there the day before.

Correct Answer: The witness said that he had seen the accused there the previous day.

Simple past becomes past perfect ("had seen"), "here" becomes "there", and "yesterday" becomes "the previous day". Option (a) misses the tense shift, (b) misses the place and time shifts, and (d) uses the wrong tense.
