Answer 2

Answer:

Roopa said that she was writing a letter.

Explanation:

Direct speech consists of REPORTING VERB and REPORTED SPEECH.

Let's take an example.

He said,"I am a boy."

He said is REPORTING VERB

I am a boy is REPORTED SPEECH

While changing direct speech to indirect speech we follow some rules :

1. If the reporting verb is in present or future tense.
2. While changing from direct to indirect speech we use that in place of inverted commas in statement.
3. While changing from direct to indirect speech we use if/whether in place of inverted commas in question sentences.
4. The SON formula is used.
