He said, “I am not to blame.” Change into Indirect Speech

2 Answers

  1. Indirect Speech: He said that he was not to blame.

    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.
