Direct speech: He said to me, "Why are you sad today?"
Indirect speech rules:
Said to → changes to asked (since it's a question).
Are → was (present to past).
Today → that day (change in time expression).
He asked me why I was so sad that day.
Direct Speech: "Be polite to others," I said to him.
This is an imperative sentence (a command or advice).
In indirect speech:
Imperative sentences change into infinitive form (to + verb).
"Said to" becomes advised (since it's about good behavior).
So, the correct transformation is:
I advised him to be polite to others.
