Some other notes:-

✯Direct speech is what the speaker actually says.

✯Indirect speech is reporting it from the narrator's point of view.

Remember:-

・The reporting verb is usually in the past tense.

・In the reported speech words denoting first person (i, my, me, mine, myself, we, our, us, ours, ourselves) change according to the subject & words denoting second person (you, your, yours, yourself, yourselves) change according to the object.

・Demonstrators in the reported speech change, e.g. ‘this’ into ‘that’ ; ‘now into then’ ; ‘here’ into ‘there’ ; ‘tomorrow’ into ‘the next day’ ; ‘Yesterday’ into ‘the previous day’. Then is usually dropped.
