Question

Mother once said to me,"You are a growing child. " change into indirect speech

Answer 1

Hola ^_^

Here is your answer

Mother once told me that I was a growing child.

In indirect speech remember the sentence gets turned to past tense and the inverted commas are gone.

We add that when it's said and said changes to told.

If in direct speech the words like Please are used which are requesting words then said is changed to requested similarly order words like get out, here said changes to ordered.
When a question is asked in direct speech we dont add that and said changes to asked and if or whether is used.

Hope it helps
