खालील वाक्याचे अप्रत्यक्ष कथनात (indirect speech) रूपांतर करा:
He said, "I have been helping the poor."

The correct answer is Option B (He said that he had been helping the poor.).

Key Points:
• Reporting verb: 'said' remains 'said' (as there is no listener/object to change it to 'told').
• Conjunction: 'that' is introduced.
• Pronoun change: First-person pronoun 'I' refers to the subject 'He', hence changes to 'he'.
• Tense change: When the reporting verb is in the past tense ('said'), the Present Perfect Continuous tense ('have been helping') changes into Past Perfect Continuous tense ('had been helping').
• Combined: "He said that he had been helping the poor."
• This accurately corresponds to Option 2.
• Key Takeaway: In indirect speech with a past reporting verb, 'have been helping' changes to 'had been helping'.
