Answer 2

My friend said to me that he had seen a movie.

EXPLANATION:

In Direct speech the sentence is of the form, ‘the first person said the words to the second person’.

The Indirect speech is of the form ‘The second person saying the words to the third person about the first person’. My friend said, “ I saw a movie”. Usually, direct speech is represented in quotes. It will be a saying.

Example:

Rita said, “I painted the wall”. (Direct speech)

Ramu said: Rita said that she has painted the wall. (Indirect speech) .

Ramu says something about Rita to the third person. Here ‘my friend’ is the first person and ‘me’ is the second person.
