Change in the Tense of Reported Speech: If the first part of sentence (reporting verb part) belongs to past tense the tense of reported speech will change. If the first part of sentence (reporting verb part) belongs to present or future tense, the tense of reported speech will not change.The given sentence is in Direct speech. To change the narration means to change it into indirect speech. This is done by removing the inverted commas and converting the sentence as a reported speech statement. The first rule is to change the tense to past tense, the verb to past participle form.
