Change into indirect speech

Answer 1

Manu said he was very busy then.

What is indirect speech?

• It is a speech that tells what a person said without quoting the exact words.
• When changing a direct sentence into an indirect sentence, change the tense in the sentence.  
• The tenses of the verbs should be changed from present to past.
• Remove all the inverted commas and quotation marks to turn them into a reported speech.
