Rules for changing Direct speech into indirect speech :-

★ The inverted commas are omitted in the indirect speech

★ The tense of the reporting verb should never be changed.

★ We use linker before the indirect speech.

★ The first letter within inverted commas will not remain capital after changing narration.

★ The pronouns should be changed according to the sense of the speech.

Answer 2

Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.

Example: He said, "I'm looking for my book." (Direct)

                He said that he was looking for his book. (Indirect)

In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words will have to be made. Also, if the sentence contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'. Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.
