Explanation:
- When we report something using the exact words of the speaker, we use direct speech. When we report something in our own words, we use indirect speech.
- When we convert a sentence from direct speech to indirect speech we must omit all quotation marks/inverted commas, and end the sentence with a period/full stop.
- If the verb inside the quotation marks/inverted commas is in the present tense, we must change it into past tense. If it is in the simple past tense, then we must change it into the past perfect tense.
- If the 2nd person pronoun (you/your/yours) is the object of the main sentence, it must change into first person plural and singular (I/me/us/we/mine/our) in indirect speech.
