The doctor said to me, “The condition of your father is serious.” Change into Indirect Speech

2 Answers

  1. Indirect Speech: The doctor told me that the condition of my father was serious.

    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.
