He said to me that they were friends. -This is the answer.
Explanation:
- The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
- When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed.
- We must introduce 'that' after 'said to me'.
- The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form.
- So the verb has to changed into past tense. The verb is 'are'. In past tense, it becomes 'were'.
- The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly. 'We' in direct speech becomes 'they' in indirect speech.
- Therefore the answer is: He said to me that they were friends.
