The sentence can be changed into indirect speech as:
The captain said to me that he had seen the film the previous night.
What is direct and indirect speech?
- In English linguistics, a direct voice sentence can be described as a sentence in which the exact words of the speaker are used to convey the message of the speaker. Direct speech is written in inverted commas.
- On the other hand, in indirect speech, we report what someone said without quoting the exact words said by the speaker. Indirect speech is not written in inverted commas.
- Past tense changes to past perfect when changing a direct sentence to indirect sentence.
- 'Last night' changes to 'previous night'.
