Answer:

The sentence in the indirect speech would be as follows:

He said that he liked the book.

Explanation:

• We can define narration or speech as a concept of reporting the words of a person.

• This art of conveying a speaker's speech in a completely new sentence without changing the meaning.

• Narration is 2 types namely, direct speech and indirect speech.

• Direct speech or quoted speech refers to exactly what someone has said and appears inside quotation marks and a comma is used before beginning the exact quote within speech marks.

• While in the case of reported or indirect narration does not need any speech marks and it doesn't exactly refer word-by-words to what someone has said.

• As per the rule of changing narration, when the reporting verb is given in past tense, then the tense of the verb of reported Speech will change into the corresponding past tense.

• Here the verb of reported Speech will change from Simple present changes to Simple Past

Therefore the given sentence in reported or indirect speech would be-

He said that he liked the book.
