The following passage has been changed into indirect speech:
I asked why I was getting a hug then. My son replied that it was because I was the best daddy in the whole world and the best captain. I told Jon that I was afraid I was not, that day. But Sue replied in a matter-of-fact voice that I must be as I had found the island. I exclaimed in shock. They chorused that it was out there in front of them and was as big as a battleship."
- While changing a sentence into indirect speech, the verb of the reporting clause must be kept in mind. Here, they are in the past tense, therefore the verbs of the subordinate clauses have been changed into the past tense.
- Pronouns like ' us, you ' and the words like ' now, today ', should be changed in the indirect speech.
- The comma has been replaced with 'that' in the indirect speech.
