Read Explanation:

  • 'Say', 'says' and 'will say' എന്നിവ റിപ്പോർട്ടിങ് വെർബുകളായി ഉപയോഗിക്കുമ്പോൾ വാക്യത്തിൻ്റെ കാലത്തിൽ (tenseൽ) മാറ്റം വരുത്തേണ്ടതില്ല.
  • When converting to indirect speech, if the reporting verb ("says") is in the present tense, the verb in the reported clause remains in its present tense.
