First, let's know the rules.

While making the changes from Direct and Indirect speech, one should be having knowledge of rules of changes in pronouns.

• The first person in reported speech changes according to the subject of reporting speech.
• In Reported Speech change of the second person depends on the object of reporting speech.
• The third person remains unchanged.

According to the reporting verb, changes are made in the direct sentence or the sentence in inverted commas.

• If the reporting verb is in the past tense, then the direct sentence is changed in its past tense.
• The tense of direct speech remains unchanged when the reporting verb is in the present or future tense.
• If the direct sentence contains the universal truth, then it remains unchanged in the Indirect Speech.

The sentence we were given is :- The astrologer said to the customer. “Leave me today. I will speak to you tomorrow."

Here, the reporting verb "The astrologer said to the customer" is in Past Indefinite Tense.

So, following the rules of pronouns , we find:-

The astrologer told the customer to leave him that day. He also said that he (a) will speak to him (c) the next day.

But note that, if the reported speech is in two sentences, we add "And also said" or "and added that" etc.

Some Examples:-

• The captain said to the new student, "I appreciate your efforts. You may join us from tomorrow."

Indirect:- The captain said to the new student that he appreciated his (S) efforts. And also said that he might join them from the next day.
