The given direct speech can be changed into indirect speech as shown and explained below:
Mother told the child that she would take him/her to the park the next day.
Explanation
It was a statement direct speech; so we used the reporting verb 'said'. We use conjunction ‘that’ when we join the indirect speech with the reporting verb. First person pronoun ‘I’ was changed into third person pronoun ‘she’ as the subject was 'Mother'. Second person pronoun ‘you’ was changed into ‘him’ because the object was 'the child’. ‘will’ was changed into ‘would’ because the reporting verb was in the past tense; tense uniformity has to be maintained while changing direct speech into indirect speech.
'Tomorrow in direct speech gets changed into 'the next day or the following day'.
