explain me how to change reported speech
Answers
Reported Speech = 'Tomie said (that) she was tired.' In reported speech we need to use the past tense form of the verb. In direct speech the present tense is used. As you can see, in the above sentence 'am' changes to 'was' when we use reported speech.
