She asked me who would be visiting my factory the follwing day.


We shift the tenses back and change the word order so that itis nolonger a direct question. We laso cgane 'tomorrow' if we are reported more than 24 hours after the original statement to keep the sense.

Direct speech:

• She said, "I will be visiting the factory tomorrow."

Indirect speech:

• She said she will be visiting the factory tomorrow.
