He said, “There are many stars in the sky.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: He said that there were many stars in the sky.

    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.
