How to change this sentence from direct speech into indirect speech.
Answer:
Mohan said to Leela,"Last week our school won a football match".
*The given question is in indirect speech,declarative sentence.
*We have to change the question into direct speech,declarative sentence.
*So we have to follow the declarative rules.
*In the reporting speech, "told" is changed into "said to".
*The declarative connective linker "that" is removed and comma and quotation ( , & " )are included.
*The adverb "the previous week" is changed into "last week".
*Pronoun "their" is changed into "our".
*The past perfect tense verb "had won" is changed into past tense verb "won"
*So the answer is,
