प्रत्यक्ष कथनाचे (Direct Speech) अप्रत्यक्ष कथनात (Indirect Speech) रूपांतर करताना खालील नियम लागू होतात:
१.
Reporting Verb: प्रश्नार्थक वाक्यात 'said to' चे रूपांतर 'asked' किंवा 'inquired' मध्ये होते.
२.
Wh-word Conjunction: 'Why' ने सुरू होणाऱ्या प्रश्नात if/whether वापरत नाहीत; 'why' हाच जोडशब्द म्हणून राहतो.
३.
Sentence Structure: प्रश्नार्थक रचनेचे रूपांतर विधानात्मक रचनेत (Assertive Word Order: Subject + Verb) होते. त्यामुळे 'why was she' ऐवजी 'why she was' होते.
४.
Tense Change: वर्तमानकाळ (are) चा भूतकाळ (was) होतो.
५.
Time Expression: 'today' चे रूपांतर 'that day' मध्ये होते.
•
म्हणून बिनचूक अप्रत्यक्ष कथन: *"My mother asked Malati why she was nervous that day."*
Indirect Speech मध्ये Wh-प्रश्नानंतर कधीही सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद अगोदर येत नाही; नेहमी कर्ता (Subject) अगोदर येतो (उदा. 'why was she' चुकीचे, 'why she was' बरोबर). 'today' $\rightarrow$ 'that day'.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 3 (My mother asked Malati why she was nervous that day.)
Detailed Explanation:
Direct Sentence: My mother said to Malati, "Why are you nervous today ?"
Rules for converting direct questions into indirect speech:
1.
Reporting Verb: 'said to' changes to 'asked' for interrogative sentences.
2.
Connector: In Wh-questions, the Wh-word ('why') acts as the connector; 'if' or 'whether' is NOT used.
3.
Word Order: Inversion (verb before subject) changes to assertive order (Subject + Verb): 'are you' $\rightarrow$ 'she was' (not 'was she').
4.
Tense Shift: Present continuous/simple changes to corresponding past tense ('are' $\rightarrow$ 'was').
5.
Time Adverb: 'today' changes to 'that day'.
•
Hence, the grammatically correct indirect speech is: *"My mother asked Malati why she was nervous that day."*
In indirect speech, interrogative structures invert to assertive word order (Connector + Subject + Verb: *why she was*, NOT *why was she*). Also, remember: *today* $\rightarrow$ *that day*.
