The boy said hurray they had won the match.

Answer 2

The speech of the following sentence is direct.

• After converting it to indirect speech, it becomes- "The boys exclaimed with joy that they had won the match."

• The verb 'said' is replaced with 'exclaimed' and the emotion 'hurrah' is replaced with 'with joy'.
• In this sentence, 'have' is converted to 'had' as the tense of the speech is past.
