In the above question, we have been provided sentences that are in the direct speech. They have been changed to indirect speech in the solution that has been provided.

Certain points should be kept in mind while making these conversions. They are as follows-

• All quotations should be completely removed.
• The tone of speech must be understood and the proper verb should be used. For example, a teacher while talking to the whole class generally announces something.
• There should be a change in the tense. The message should be in past tense or forms of past tense.
• There should be no change in the intended meaning of the sentence.
