She said, “I hate you by the way.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: She said that she hated me by the way.

    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.
