Question

Susan said, "I am going to the store."(change in indirect speech)

Answer 1

Direct speech repeats the exact words of the speaker.

While indirect speech or reported speech is usually the words that are said by the speaker in a way we speak about past.

This is why we turn the tense and also omit the inverted commas.

So, the indirect speech of the given sentence will be, Susan said that she was going to the store.
