Ram said to me, “I was your friend.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: Ram told me that he had been my friend.

    Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the past indefinite tense, then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past perfect tense.

    Past Indefinite Tense (was) > Past Perfect Tense (had been).
