• Direct Speech- Saying exactly what someone has said is called as direct speech.
• For example, She said, "I am writing a letter to my mother".
• Indirect Speech- Reporting someone's thought which he/she had said, without using that person's exact words is called as indirect speech.
• For example, She told that she was writing a letter to her mother.
• It is also called as Reported speech

$\large\fbox\color{black}{What\:have\:we\:done\:here?}$

‎ ‎1) Firstly, we have removed the inverted commas/quotation marks.

‎ ‎2) Next we have changed "said to" as "told".

‎ ‎3) Then we have inserted the appropriate conjunction "that" before the direct statement.

‎ ‎4) Next we have removed "I" and inserted "he" instead of it because the pronouns of first and second person changes to third person in indirect speech.

‎ ‎5) Then we have made an important change that is changing of tense. Here in the question, it's given in Present Continuous Tense. So as per rules, we have changed it to Past Continuous Tense.

‎ ‎6) Finally we ended the sentence with a full stop.
