Question

he said, "she had finished her work" change into indirect speech ​

Answer 1

Answer:

He said that she had finished her work. ( Indirect speech )

Explanation:

• Direct Speech uses the exact same terms that were uttered. When writing in direct speech, we place the uttered words inside of quote marks ("") and don't change anything else about them. We might be recording what is said (for instance, a phone conversation) or we might be later enquiring about a past chat. For example, Shashi said," I play chess."

• We typically change the tense of our words when speaking about the past in reported or indirect speech. We can introduce the reported words with the word "that" and report verbs like "say," "tell," and "ask." In this sentence, there are no inverted commas. For example, Shashi said that she played chess.

• We can convert a sentence from direct speech to indirect speech by removing the commas and quotation marks, adding the word, 'that', using a modal/ auxiliary verb ( if required ) and changing verb into suitable form.

• The given sentence, he said, "she had finished her work" can be converted to indirect speech. It becomes, he said the she had finished her work.
