nswer: ক) He said that he had been working since morning.

  • মূল বাক্য: He said, "I have been working since morning."

  • এটি Present Perfect Continuous Tense (have been working)।

  • Reporting verb said past tense হলে, reported speech-এ tense এক ধাপ পিছিয়ে যায় → Past Perfect Continuous

  • সুতরাং: have been workinghad been working

  • সঠিক Indirect Speech: He said that he had been working since morning.

Other options:

  • খ) He has been working… → Present Perfect Continuous রেখেছে, তাই ভুল।

  • গ) He was working… → Past Continuous হয়েছে, tense shift ভুল।

  • ঘ) He worked… → Simple Past হয়েছে, tense এবং অর্থ হারিয়েছে।
