Answer 1

Answer:

She said she has been writing for an hour.

Explanation:

Narrative speeches are also called Reported Speech.

Here are a few rules you follow while changing direct into indirect/narrative :

Usage of reported speech: This speech tells you about what someone said, but doesn't report you in the original words of the speaker.

Removal of quotation: As now you are already reporting it, you need to remove the quotation marks too.

Changing pronoun: If you not the one to report your speech "I" changes to "he" or "she".

• Indirect speech is when you tell about a particular conversation that happened last, to someone else.
• One must change the tenses of a sentence.

• If something is a universal truth or any fact or a proverb of a quotation, NO changes take place in the form of tenses.

Also, the following changes happen:

Now - Then

Today - That day

Said - Told

Will be - Would be
