How to convert a sentence into indirect speech?

• Inverted commas are used to indicate a direct manner of speaking; they are not used for indirect speech.
• In indirect speech, the present tense of a sentence enclosed in quotation marks is transformed to the past tense.
• By omitting the question mark and using words like "if" or "if," an indirect question is presented.

Indirect speech

The tense of the words uttered is typically changed when reported or indirect discourse refers to the past. Saying, telling, and asking are all examples of reporting verbs. The reported words may also be introduced with the word "that." The word "inverted" is not used.
