In reported speech, when the reporting verb is in the past tense, the verb in the reported clause usually changes to a corresponding past tense. In this case, “will” changes to “would.” Additionally, pronouns are adjusted to maintain the correct perspective.
The original sentence is: “They will hurt you.”
When converting this to reported speech:
“He says” becomes “He said” (past tense).
“will” changes to “would.”
“you” changes to “me” because the person reporting the speech is the one being spoken to.
So, “They will hurt you” becomes “He said to me that they would hurt me.”
Therefore, the correct option is:
D. He said to me that they would hurt me.
The correct answer to the question: "He says, ” They will hurt you”." is "He said to me that they would hurt me.".
