• When we change a sentence from direct to indirect speech, we alter the various parts of speech used to make it meaningful.
• The quotation marks and various symbols like the exclamatory mark are removed. Tense of the sentence is made to simple past.
• Verbs also are written in simple past unless there is a universal truth in the sentence.
• Pronouns change to their third person as we are writing the indirect speech.
