Key Points
- In reported speech, the future tense 'shall' changes to 'would'.

- Therefore, the correct conversion of the sentence is: "You told me that you would reach in time for the concert".
Hence, the correct statement is 'You told me that you would reach in time for the concert.'
Additional Information
- In indirect speech, the pronouns and verb tenses are often changed to match the reporting verb and the context of the sentence.
- For example, 'I' changes to 'you' if the reporting verb is 'said to me'.
- The tense of the verb in the direct speech is shifted back to a past form in indirect speech.
