Choose the correct indirect speech:
Rina said, "I am going to school."

• সঠিক উত্তর: খ) Rina said that she was going to school.

• Direct speech: Rina said, "I am going to school."
- এখানে Reporting verb = said (past tense).
- Reported speech = I am going (Present Continuous).

- Indirect-এ রূপান্তর করার নিয়ম:
- Present Continuous (am/is/are + verb-ing) → Past Continuous (was/were + verb-ing).
- I → she (Rina এর জন্য)

- Rina said, "I am going to school."
→ Rina said that she was going to school.

• Other options:

ক) "she is going" → Tense পরিবর্তন হয়নি।

গ) "she will go" → Future tense হয়েছে, অর্থ বদলে গেছে।

ঘ) "Rina says" → Reporting verb present, কিন্তু বাকিরা past tense → মিলছে ।
