Explanation:
When we convert the speech of a speaker from direct to indirect without changing the meaning is called narration change.
Some of the things to note are as follows:
- Person of pronoun of Reported speech is modified according to the Subject of Reporting verb of the sentence.
- Person of pronoun of Reported speech is modified according to Object of Reporting verb in the sentence.
- Person of Pronoun of Reported speech isn't changed.
The tenses of the verbs inside the quotation marks and commas should be changed. For Example:
Direct Speech: Raj said, 'I need to be in the meeting by 3:00 p.m.'
Indirect Speech: Raj said that he would need to be in the meeting by 3:00 p.m.
