Explanation:

Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person said. We can use either direct or indirect speech to accomplish this.

Direct speech: 'I work in a school,' said Seema

Indirect speech: Seema said that she worked in a school.

• Rules :
  The first rule is to select an appropriate reporting verb and tense.
• The second/ rule is to alter one's perspective or point of view.
• Then, decide whether to include "that" or "if."
• The fourth rule is to "backshift" the tense.
