Question

Sheela said "latha ,nothing grows in my garden"change into reported speech

Answer 1

Sheela told Lata that nothing grows in her garden.

Answer 2

The question is in direct speech. The reported speech form or indirect speech version of the question will be “Sheela told Latha that nothing grows in her garden.”

While converting from direct to indirect speech, the comma is replaced with that and the inverted commas are removed.

Also, the speech within quotes gets changed to the past form of the tense mentioned at the time of speaking if the time is in the past.
