Rita said, “This is my dad’s picture.” Change into indirect speech.

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: Rita said that that was her dad’s picture.

    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.
