She said to the waiter, “I want to be served quickly.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: She told the waiter that she wanted to be served quickly.

    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.
