Rohan said that the machine hadn’t been working.
Explanation:
- The ‘says’ in the sentence will get converted into said which is the ground rule for the conversion into indirect sentences.
- ‘Does not work’ is present perfect tense. In order to change this into indirect speech we need to convert this into past continuous tense which gives us the phrase ’hadn’t been working’.
- Therefore the correct conversion is ‘Rohan said that the machine hadn’t been working’.
