Question

The teacher says,'if you work hard,you will pass.'(reported speech)
the teacher says that if you work har you will pass.
for me the reporting speech is in present form so the reported speech will not be changed according to the rules of direct and indirect narration

Answer 1

Explanation:

no;because it is a fact or habitual truth......the teacher always says so, therefore we don't change the verb into it's past form
