Change narration: He said, “I have a new car.”

(A) He said that he had a new car.
(B) He said that he has a new car.
(C) He said that I have a new car.
(D) None of these

🧠 Explanation:

  • The original sentence is in direct speech and uses the present perfect tense ("have").
  • When changing to indirect speech, the present perfect tense typically shifts to the past perfect tense.
  • The pronoun "I" changes to "he" to match the subject of the reporting verb.
  • This ensures both correct tense and pronoun agreement in the reported speech.
