Answer 2

$\Large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \pink{Direct \: to \: Indirect \: speech}}}}}$

Direct:

In the given question

Indirect:

He told me he was swimming then.

A male person is telling me that he was swimming that time which is a simple statement and hence we use the reporting verb 'told' in indirect speech.

Grammar bites:

In Direct speech, we generally will see that the dialogue of the speaker is enclosed inside inverted commas. But,

In the Indirect speech, it is the direct sentence where dialogue is not enclosed inside the inverted commas. Here, we can't predict thd exact words but it gives only the substance of what the speaker said.

Some, rules we should remember while changing.

Like,

1. If reporting verb is in past tense, then main verb is also changed into past tense.
2. If reporting verb is in present/future tense, then there is no change.

And, Changes in tense are:

[ When reporting verb is in past tense ]

• Simple present ➝ Simple past.
• Present continous ➝ Past continous.
• Present perfect ➝ Past perfect
• Simple past(sometimes) ➝ Past perfect.

And we are done !!
