Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\boxed{\mathrm{Solution}}}}$

( In the given question ), we have to change the direct sentence to indirect one. So, firstly we have to know what is direct and indirect speech??

________________________

Direct speech = When the actual words spoken by the speaker are quoted then the sentence is said to be in Direct speech.

Indirect speech = Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\mathrm{Example:}}}}$

He said "I'm coming" is direct speech, whereas He said he was coming is indirect speech. 

Grammer tips:

• Direct speech is used in a formal or official communication purposes, or in short messages, so that your answer, replies or enquiries are laid out in proper manner, sans various unnecessary details which might consume time.

• Indirect speech is used when you are writing a story, novel, or even in theory papers, where the whole answer needs elaboration, and, in a way, to add more emotion into a phrase or paragraph

$\huge\underline\mathrm\gray{Required\:Answer}$

He said to me, "I have often told you not to play with fire."

• He said that he has often being telling me not to play with fire.

( Here also we use ''that'' instead of using "say, tell, ask". )
