John said that he would be there at 2 pm.
Explanation ↴
In the Direct & Indirect Speech, we usually change the tense of the Direct Speech when we change it to the Reported speech, but in the case of Future Simple tense we do not change the tense of the direct speech after converting it to the reported speech.
The Helping verb of Future Simple tense will convert to 'would' in the Indirect (reported) Speech. We usually place the reported speech after the conjunction that in order to make it clear that we are reporting and not speaking directly.
