'She asked me what time I would be home and I replied that I didn't know.'
- When we convert a sentence from direct speech to indirect speech, we have to follow a set of rules that modify the sentence to make it meaningful.
- Parts of speech such as tense, verbs and pronouns in the sentence should be changed accordingly when written in reported speech.
- First, all inverted commas and quotation marks are removed from the sentence. Then the tense is changed, usually to simple past.
- The verbs in the sentence are also changed to past tense.
- Sentences containing universal truths remain in their original tense and their verbs are also not changed.
- The pronouns should be changed to third person as we are reporting the speaker in our own words.
