Answer:

The students said,"We wasted our time last year".

Explanation:

*The given question is in indirect speech.

*We have to convert the question into direct speech,declarative sentence.

*We should follow the declarative sentence rules.

*In the reporting speech,"regretted" is changed into "said".

*In the reported speech,the declarative connective linker "that" is removed and comma and quotation are included.

*Pronoun,tense and adverb are changed.

*So the answer is,

The students said,"We wasted our time last year".
