Question

"I made some money yesterday",he explained. Change it into indirect speech​

Answer 1

he explained that he had made some money the previous day

Answer 2

The answer is: He explained that he had made some money the previous day.

1. Direct speech is when a speaker says something directly. Indirect speech is when we tell someone what another person said.

2. When the direct speech is in the simple present tense, we usually do not change the tense in indirect speech. When it is in the past tense, we change the tense accordingly.

3. In the given sentence, we have to also change the time expression 'yesterday'. We have changed it to 'the previous day'. For example:

• She said, "I am meeting my brother tomorrow".

        She said that she was meeting her brother the following day.
