Question

Change into reported speech
He said to me, "I do not work on Sundays"

Answer 1

Answer:  

He said to me that he does not work on Sundays.

Explanation:

Following are the rules for converting ‘direct speech’ to reported speech:

a) Quotation marks are not used in reported speech.

b) ‘I’ is replaced with ‘he’ / ‘she’ or ‘we’ is replaced with ‘they’ or ‘my’ is changed to his / her or ‘us’ is changed to ‘them’ and vice-versa.

c) When question is asked in direct speech, then in reported speech, the sentence is transformed by using he / she asked me if / whether…..The verb is changed to past tense.
