He says", I am glad to be here this evening. change to indirect speech
Answers
The correct answer is :-
He says that he is glad to be there.
Note: The reporting verb is in present so we should not change the Reported verb to past.
He said that he is glad to be here this evening.
Explanation:
Direct speech implies addressing one person to another directly without any third person in between. Or else we can say, addressing one person to the third person without addressing the second person actually in between.
Indirect speech claims to address one person indirectly with the connection of a third person or second person in between. For example, ‘He said he will get us the file by tomorrow morning”, here the person is addressing another person with a third person taking in the picture with the word, ‘he’.
Changing direct speech into indirect gives us clue idea of taking that one-third person into an address and informing the second person in between giving the hint.
Hence, the answer – He said that he is glad to be here this evening.
