He said, “I am happy to be here today.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: He said that he was happy to be there that day.

    Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the present indefinite tense (simple present tense), then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past indefinite tense.

    Present Indefinite Tense > Past Indefinite Tense.

    here – there

    today – that day
