Renu said that she had been playing tennis the previous morning.

To change the given sentence from direct speech to indirect speech, we need to report what Renu said without using her exact words. The sentence in indirect speech will need to be changed from the first person to the third person and the tense will need to be shifted back one tense.

In this sentence, "said" is the reporting verb, "that" is the conjunction used to introduce the reported speech, "she" is the third-person pronoun, "had been playing" is the past perfect continuous tense, and "the previous morning" is the time expression that indicates when the activity took place.

The sentence in indirect speech reports what Renu said without using her exact words while preserving the meaning of the original sentence. The use of the past perfect continuous tense in the indirect speech indicates that the activity of playing tennis had been going on for a while before the time reference of yesterday morning.
