Question

he said two and two are four narrate this santance​

Answer 1

Answer:

the reported speech relates to some universal truth or habitual fact, the simple Present tense in the reported speech remains unchanged or is changed to the past tense ; as

He said, “ Man is mortal.” ( Direct Speech )

He said that man is mortal. ( Indirect speech )

He said, “ Joggery was not sweet.” ( Direct Speech )

He said that Joggery was not sweet. ( Indirect speech )

Note : In Modern English this rule is not strictly followed. We often come across such sentences as,

The teacher proved that the earth moved round the sun.

The Sadguru preached us that God was love.

Now coming to your sentence the answer runs as ,

He said that two and two make four.( universal truth statement )

( Indirect speech )
