Direct/indirect: He said to me, ‘I don’t believe you,’

A. He said he don’t believe me.
B. He told he don’t believe me.
C. He said he didn’t believed me
D. He said he didn’t believe me.

D. He said he didn’t believe me.

Explanation:

  • The original sentence uses direct speech: “He said to me, ‘I don’t believe you.'” (present tense)
  • We’re converting it to indirect speech.
  • The reporting verb “said” is in the past tense.
  • Following the rule, the present tense verb “don’t believe” in the direct speech changes to the past tense “didn’t believe” in the indirect speech.
