Explanation:

While changing direct speech of the sentence into indirect speech, the action sequence is narrated or reported through another person’s words without changing the meaning.

The given sentences are exclamatory sentences that convey some sudden feelings or emotions of happiness, sadness, surprise, regret, etc. In direct speech, exclamatory sentences use exclamation marks. While changing to indirect speech, the exclamatory marks will be replaced with words like exclaimed with happiness, sorrow, surprise, regret etc.
