He said, “My God! I am speaking the truth.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: He exclaimed that he was speaking the truth.

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

    Present Continuous Tense > Past Continuous Tense.

    And if the sentence is exclamatory, we use reporting verbs like exclaimed, admired, cried etc based on the sentence.
