I said to him, “You are a good boy.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: I told him that he was a good boy.

    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.
