Rule 1:

Use of conjunction ‘that’ before the indirect statement except in case of imperative sentences and exclamatory sentences e.g. Hari said that he was very tired then.

Rule 2:

Change in pronouns of first and second person in Direct speech to third person in Indirect speech taking into account the gender of the subject.

Rule 3:

If reporting verb is in Present or Future Tense, the tense of the verb in the reported speech is not changed e.g.

He says “I am busy”.

He says that he is busy.

He will say “I was busy.”
