My mother was ill. I had to take her to the hospital.

The teacher asked Mani that why was he absent that day. Mani* replied that his mother was ill, and he had to take her to the hospital.

The points that you may note down :-

Here, today is changed to that day.

Mani "replied back" is added, as he answers to the teacher.

The tense is in past tense.

"I" has changed to "he", so pronominal changes have also taken place
