Question

He said ,''Man is mortal.''. Change into indirect speech

Answer 1

Answer:

He said that man was mortal

Answer 2

Answer:

He said that man is mortal.

Explanation:

• In certain reported speech sentences the tense remains the same.
• This applies to those statements which are considered as universal facts.
• For example : They said that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
• In this question, since "man is mortal" is a fact, it would be incorrect to write the sentence as "man was mortal", in indirect speech.
• Therefore the correct answer : He said that man is mortal.
