Answer 2

Indirect sentence:

Poirot told his friend Hastings that the case was not over.

Explanation:

• The given sentence is given in direct speech which is converted into reported speech.
• The simple present is changed into simple past.
• Thus, the word "is" converted into "was" in indirect speech.
• Since, the word "my friend" is used in direct speech then "his friend Hastings" is used in indirect speech.
• The word "said to" is converted into "told" in indirect speech.
