Answer:
Nitu said that their cat gave birth to three kittens the previous day.
Explanation:
When quoting the exact words said by the speaker using inverted commas, we call it direct speech.
When reporting the words what the speaker had said without using inverted commas, we call it indirect speech.
To change a sentence from direct speech to indirect speech,
✶ We remove the inverted commas.
✶ The reporting verb changes to "informed/said that/declared" if the statement is affirmative.
✶ We change some words into their indirect form, such as
- This - that
- These - those
- Ago - before
- Now - then
- Today - that day
- Yesterday - the previous day
- Tomorrow - the next day
✶ The tense of the sentence changes to its past tense. For example, present perfect tense changes to past perfect tense, present continuous tense changes to past continuous tense etc. But if the statement is a fact, it remains the same. For example:-
The teacher said, "Sun rises from the East."
The teacher told that the Sun rises from the East.
