Answer 2

Question :

Change the sentence into indirect speech.

• She said " I was waiting for you " .

Answer :

She said that she had been waiting for me.

The rules to change a direct speech into an indirect speech are as follows :

• The comma and the double quotations are to be omitted.
• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation does not change if the reported verb is in present tense.
• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation changes accordingly if the reported verb is in past tense.
• Here , the reported verb is in simple past tense, therefore the tense of the sentence inside quotation changes from past continuous tense to past perfect continuous tense.
• ' I ' becomes 'she'.
• 'Was waiting' becomes 'had been waiting'.
• 'You' becomes 'me'.
