Answer:

the teacher said that man is mortal

Answer 2

Answer:

• The teacher said that man is not mortal

Explanation:

• We use direct speech when we repeat someone's words and Indirect speech when we use our own words to report what someone says.
• The quote starts with the capital letter preceded by a comma ; The indirect speech contains no quote mark, nor any commas.
• The speaker and the reported verb remain unchanged and the comma and the quote after the reporting verb are replaced by that while changing the mode of narration.
• If reporting verb is in past tense the tense of the reported verb is changed into the corresponding past form.
• If the direct speech states all time truth, the tense of the reported verb is not changed.
