Sorry I can't tell this answer , so I telling the formula

Explanation:

SpeechWhen using indirect or reported speech, the form changes. Usually indirect speech is introduced by the verb said, as in I said, Bill said, or they said. Using the verb say in this tense, indicates that something was said in the past. In these cases, the main verb in the reported sentence is put in the past. If the main verb is already in a past tense, then the tense changes to another past tense; it can almost be seen as moving even further into the past.Verb tense diagramVerb tense changes also characterize other situations using indirect speech. Note the changes shown in the chart and see the table below for examples. With indirect speech, the use of that is optional.

DIRECT SPEECH → INDIRECT SPEECH

simple present

He said, "I go to school every day." → simple past

He said (that) he went to school every day.

simple past

He said, "I went to school every day." → past perfect

He said (that) he had gone to school every day.

present perfect

He said, "I have gone to school every day." → past perfect

He said (that) he had gone to school every day.

present progressive

He said, "I am going to school every day." → past progressive

He said (that) he was going to school every day.

past progressive

He said, "I was going to school every day." → perfect progressive

He said (that) he had been going to school every day,

future (will)

He said, "I will go to school every day." → would + verb name

He said (that) he would go to school every day.

future (going to)

He said, "I am going to school every day." → present progressive

He said (that) he is going to school every day.

past progressive

auxiliary + verb name

He said, "Do you go to school every day?"

He asked me if I went to school every day.*

He asked me where I went to school.

imperative

Another situation is the one in which modal constructions are used. If the verb said is used, then the form of the modal, or another modal that has a past meaning is used.

have to

should

He said, "I should go to school every day." → should

He said (that) he should go to school every day.

ought to

He said, "I ought to go to school every day." → ought to

While not all of the possibilities have been listed here, there are enough to provide examples of the main rules governing the use of indirect or reported speech. For other situations, try to extrapolate from the examples here, or better still, refer to a good grammar text or reference book.
