Explanation:

The words said by a person can be narrated in two ways: Direct speech and Indirect speech.

To change, a sentence from direct to indirect:-

✷ The inverted commas are to be removed.

✷ Words like can, will, shall, and may change to could, would, should and might.

✷ Usually, past tense is to be used in the indirect speech.

✷ If the sentence expresses a wish, then the reporting verb (the verb conveying the words of the speaker) changes into pray, wish, hope etc.
