Answer 2

Question :

He said, "I have been a great mentor."

(Change to Indirect Speech)

Answer :

He said that he had been a great mentor.

The rules to change a direct speech into an indirect speech are as follows :

• The comma and the double quotations are omitted.

• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation does not change if the reported verb is in present tense.

• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation changes accordingly if the reported verb is in past tense.

• Here , the reported verb is in simple past tense, therefore the tense of the sentence inside quotation changes from Present perfect to Past perfect.

• 'Have' becomes 'Had'.

• In passive voice, the word ''by" is always used.

• Hence, the final answer is He said that he had been a great mentor.
