My friend said to me, “I need your help in solving this problem.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: My friend told me that he/she needed my help in solving that problem.

    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.
