Review the verified answer and explanation for this ETEA Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency past-paper question on CampusFin.

Change the narration. He said, ”The sun is stationary”. Answer: He said that the sun is stationary

To change the narration from direct to indirect speech, you say: "He said that the sun was stationary," or, because it's a universal truth, "He said that the sun is stationary"; both are acceptable, but changing to past tense (was) is common when the reporting verb ("said") is in the past, though sometimes universal truths keep the present tense.
