My friend said to me, “You are intelligent.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: My friend told me that I was intelligent.

    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.
