Explanation:
Direct speech Indirect speech
in this exercise the Direct speech sentences are converted into indirect speech
When we want to report what someone said without speech marks and without necessarily using exactly the same words, we can use indirect speech (also called reported speech).
Example: Direct speech: “I have a new car.”
Indirect speech: He said he had a new car.
Changing Time Expressions
When reporting speech, it's occasionally important to switch up the time expressions, particularly when talking about the past and the time reference is no longer relevant.
Example: Direct speech: “It’s been raining since this afternoon.”
Indirect speech: He said it’d been raining since that afternoon.
