Direct and Indirect Speech

• The question is given in the direct speech. Direct speech is the speech given directly by the speaker.

• The reported speech refers to the indirect speech.

• While converting into indirect speech, 'I' changes to the pronoun 'he' as our subject is Albert.

• Since the reporting verb is given in the simple past tense, 'will' changes to 'would' in the indirect speech.

• 'Next week' is changed to the 'following week' in the indirect speech.
