Question

What is the reported speech of It's late to stay awake

Answer 1

Answer:

Peter said, "Carol is a nice girl." Peter said (that) Carol was a nice girl.

 

Don't change these verbs: might, could, would, should

Example:

He said, "I might arrive late." He said (that) he might arrive late.

It isn't necessary to change the present tense into the past tense if the information in the direct speech is still true or a general statement.

Examples:

Frank said, "My sister is a secretary." Frank said (that) his sister is (was) a secretary.

He told us, "The sun rises in the east." He told us that the sun rises (rose) in the east.
