Answer 2

The converted sentences are:

1. He said that he was a lawyer.

Explanation:

Reported speech is an exercise that is taught in the younger classes so that the students get a grip of the language and use it to good practice.

The whole above sentence is said in a narrative manner which sounds like a third person is saying.

This is how reported speeches work.

They are also called as indirect speech.

It is in the name indirect, The speaker himself or herself will not say anything but a third person will tell others on their behalf.

I was a lawyer was the statement that 'he' wants to say, so the person on his behalf will say it and that's how a direct speech becomes indirect.

• Keeping the grammer and tense in mind, the rest of the sentence should have the same meaning.
• conjuctions and determinants can be shifted as the person likes but the tense of the verb should be correct.
