She said, “We are best friends.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: She said that we/they were best friends.

    If the person is including you while referring, then it will be we.

    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.

    And if the sentence is interrogative, we use the reporting verbs – asked, enquired, etc.
