About indirect speech:

• The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
• When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly.
• Universal truths will always retain the tense. The tense will not be changed into past.
• When we have 'says' outside the quotation marks then the tense in indirect speech must be the same as in direct speech.
• When there is no listener in the direct speech we can introduce a pronoun 'I/he/she'.
