Answer 2

I often say to my friends that they all are very dear to me.

• We are asked to change the direct speech to an Indirect speech
• When we use the exact words of the speaker to report what he or she has, said, we use Direct Speech.
• In direct speech, the words used by the speaker are enclosed within quotation marks. The reported verb is followed by a comma. The first word within the inverted commas begins with a capital letter (I)
• When we use our own words to report what a person has said, we use Indirect Speech.
• In an indirect speech sentence, the reporting verb is followed by 'that. In an indirect speech, the reported speech is not placed within inverted commas.
• The reported speech is changed in such a way that its pronouns and tenses are suitable for the reporter.

Hence, I often say to my friends that they all are very dear to me.
