When converting a direct speech sentence (நேர்க்கூற்று) to indirect speech (அயற்கூற்று) in Higher Tamil, which grammatical modification MUST be performed?

Quotation marks are removed, first/second-person pronouns shift to third person, and the reporting particle 'என்று' is incorporated. The main verb is converted into the passive voice with 'படு'. The subject is moved to the end of the sentence following the Second Case marker 'ஐ'. All adjectives are replaced with paired words (இணைமொழிகள்).

✔ Correct Answer:

Quotation marks are removed, first/second-person pronouns shift to third person, and the reporting particle 'என்று' is incorporated.
