Explanation:
* It should be noted that, the direct speech may can be in any kind of sentence but the indirect speech must be an assertive one.
* The reported speech always follow the tense of the reporting verb but, in case of universal truth or the speech of any famous person or in some special case related to this kind there is no change in the tense.
*There should be no comma(,) and inverted comma (" ") in case of the indirect speech.
* To remove the comma(,) and inverted comma(" ") use connective such as, 'that' or as per the sense of the question.
* Change the pronoun of the reported speech as per the person referred in the reporting verb.
