Answer 1

⦿ Direct ➝ Indirect Speech

Answer - Rama informed that the train was running late. Or Rama told that the train was running late$.$

[Here, Rama is informing someone that the train was running late. Reporting verb 'said' is in past tense, hence is changed into was. Also, you simply use said/told instead of informing]

⦿ Grammer bites

While speaking, we can report the words of a speaker into two different ways, that is what our Direct speech and Indirect speech. In quote form, then it is direct speech or else linking form is Indirect speech.

✤Rules of changing Direct to Indirect speech:-

• We use a linker(that) before the Indirect Speech.
• General structure of Direct speech = Speaker + Reporting verb + Direct speech and General structure of Indirect speech = Speaker + Reporting verb + Linker + Reported speech.
• The pronouns are also changed accordingly.
• If the reporting verb is in past tense, then we make certain changes, but not in case of present/future tense.

✤ Examples:-

• Murali said, "I am busy."
• Murali said that he was busy.

• Alam said to me, "You will not play."
• Alam told me that I would not play.

• He said, "I wrote a letter."
• He said that he had written a letter.
