He said to you ," was I cheating you ?" change into indirect
Answers
Answer:
I was cheating you he said.
Answer:
This sentence is strange in one respect: The use of the pronoun “we” and the present tense “say” indicates that “We say” and “You are a cheat” are all part of the same phrase said at the same time and therefore should all be included in speech marks - “We say you are a cheat” It is difficult to see how someone would say it and attribute it to themselves as written above.
Having said that - There is no indirect or reported speech in this sentence as the actual words spoken are shown within speech marks.
If you were to report this speech you could have - “They said he is a cheat” or “They said he was a cheat” - the choice is for the person reporting it. Normally backshifting would occur (‘is’ to ‘was’) but here it’s optional as (one assumes) his status as a cheat does not change over time. Also “he” in both sentences could either “you” or “she” depending on who is being talked about.
