The girl said to me, “I don’t know how to swim.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The girl told me that she didn’t know how to swim.

    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.
