Question:

In the following question, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect Speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech and select your answer

He said that he cleans his teeth twice a day.

Options:
A)

He said, “I clean my teeth twice a day."

B)

He said, “I clean my teeth twice in a day."

C)

He says, “I clean my teeth twice a day."

D)

He says, “I clean my teeth twice."

Solution:

If the reported speech in direct speech is in present tense, it changes to past tense in indirect narration. When changing from direct to indirect speech or vice versa, the words remain the same. So, 'twice a day' is the correct usage.
