Explanation:
The first rule for changing the 'direct speech' into 'indirect' is by removing the inverted commas and commas. The tense must be changed. The 'past tense' is normally used when there is a sense of uncertainty in the statement.
Sometimes two sentences are combined with the help of conjunction, and the tenses are different, in such situations the rule should be followed carefully.
Examples of some direct words and their respective indirect words:
Now – Then, Ago – Before, Thus – So, Next month – The following month.
