Explanation:

• Narrative speeches are also called Reported Speech.

Here are a few rules you follow while changing direct into indirect/narrative :

• Usage of reported speech: This speech tells you about what someone said but doesn't report you in the original words of the speaker.

• Removal of quotation: As now you are already reporting it, you need to remove the quotation marks too.

• Changing pronoun: f you not the one to report on your speech "I" changes to "he" or "she".

• indirect speech is when you tell about a particular conversation that happened at last, to someone else.

• One must change the tenses of a sentence.

• If something is a universal truth or any fact or a proverb of a quotation, NO changes take place the in the form of tenses.

Also following changes happens :

Now - Then

Today - That day

Said - Told

Will be - Would be
