My friend told me that the guests had already arrived.

Explanation:

  • When we read or write in English,using exact words of a speaker, it is called a Direct Speech. On the other hand when we report someone else's speech,in our own words,it is called as  .
  • As a general rule, while converting direct speech to an indirect form if the verb within the quotes is in simple present,it is changed into simple past tense. An exception to this rule is a case when the verb is used to express a universal truth.
  • If the verb is in simple past, it is converted into past perfect form.
  • All quotation marks should be removed.
