Explanation:
- Reported or indirect speech is the grammatical construction that is employed to communicate the content of statements as well as utterances or questions without quoting the exact words of the speaker.
- It conveys the similar message using different words instead of using the exact words(like direct speech).
- The given sentences are in the direct speech and to convert them into indirect speech, certain alterations are required in the pronouns, omission of quotation marks, and the tenses.
- The imperative sentences include command, request, order, or suggestion and therefore, the indirect speech involves usage of words like ordered, suggested, etc.
- The universal truth or habitual action is always reported in present tense.
