Answer:
Here's Your Answer
Explanation:
Indirect Speech - Lalani told Binay that she had done her job.
■ When using indirect or reported speech, the form changes. Usually indirect speech is introduced by the verb said, as in I said, Bill said, or they said. Using the verb say in this tense, indicates that something was said in the past. In these cases, the main verb in the reported sentence is put in the past.
●More Info - Indirect speech is a report on what someone else said or wrote without using that person's exact words (which is called direct speech). It's also called indirect discourse or reported speech.
Change to Indirect Speech:
- Lalani said to Binay, "I have done my job".
- Direct Speech- Saying exactly what someone has said is called as direct speech.
- For example, She said, "I am writing a letter to my mother".
- Indirect Speech- Reporting someone's thought which he/she had said, without using that person's exact words is called as indirect speech.
- For example, She told that she was writing a letter to her mother.
- It is also called as Reported speech.
_________________________
- Lalani told Binay that she had done her job.
1) Firstly, we have removed the inverted commas/quotation marks.
2) Next we have changed "said to" as "told".
3) Then we have inserted the appropriate conjunction "that" before the direct statement.
4) Next we have changed "I" to "she" and "my" to her" because the pronouns of first and second person changes to third person in indirect speech.
5) Then we have made an important change that is changing of tense. Here in the question, it's given in Present Perfect Tense (have). So as per rules, we have changed it to Past Perfect Tense (had).
6) Finally we ended the statement with a full stop.
