The boys said to the teacher, “We need your help.” Change into Indirect

2 Answers

  1. Indirect Speech: The boys told the teacher that they needed his/her help.

    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.
