He said to me, “This pen is not yours.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: He told me that that pen was not mine.

    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.
