Answer:

The postman delivered the letter on time.

Answer: the letter was delivered by The Postman on time.

Explanation:

Here we are asked to convert the given sentence into indirect speech.

The given sentence is- The postman delivered the letter on time.

What is indirect speech? Indirect speech is paraphrasing what someone said or wrote. In writing, it functions to move a piece along by boiling down points that an interview source made. Unlike direct speech, indirect speech is not usually placed inside quote marks. However, both are attributed to the speaker because they come directly from a source.

Indirect speech differs from direct speech in that we DO NOT tell exactly what another person said. We are NOT repeating what someone else said. Indirect speech is when we tell the MEANING of what someone else said. John says: Iā€™m a good boy. We say: John said he was a good boy. Pay attention to what this sentence looks like.

In linguistics, indirect speech (also reported speech or indirect discourse) is a grammatical mechanism for reporting the content of another utterance without directly quoting it. For example, the English sentence Jill said she was coming is indirect discourse while Jill said "I'm coming" would be direct discourse.
