2. The quotations have been removed and comma has been replaced by 'that'.
3. since, you is the second person. So, it changed according to the object (the object is hidden) of the reporting verb.
4. The Future Tense remains future only.

Answer 2

The aboveboard sentence is in direct speech. The change of direct speech into indirect speech is a transformation I.e., change of form without change of meaning.

Converting to indirect we get,

Riya said that she would tell me the story.

NOTE THE POINTS IN THE SPEECH CONVERSION:[Direct speech]

--> SAID is called the reporting verb and is placed outside (" ")

--> The exact words of the speaker are marked off by the inverted commas, and are called Direct Speech. The speech within the quotation is seperated from the reporting portion by a comma.

--> In direct speech the first word after the inverted commas begins with a capital letter.

Also,

The pronouns of the first person (I , we, my, mine, our, ours, me or us) of DS changes according to the person of the subject of the reporting speech.

The pronoun of third person (He, his, him, she , they,it,etc) remains same.

The pronoun of second person (you,yours,your) changes according to the person of the object of the reporting speech.

INDIRECT SPEECH:

--> if it is 'says' In direct speech it will be 'says that' in direct speech.

--> If it is 'says to' it will be tells

--> if it is 'said' it will be 'said that'

--> if It is 'said to' it will be 'told to'

-->The reporting verb said or said to is often replaced by the words like asked requested, suggested ,enquired in the indirect speech when an order, a suggestion, or a request is reported in the direct speech.

Example: Rita said to watchman,"Either go or wait."(DS)

Rita asked the watchman either to go or wait.(IS)
