The mother said to her son, “You are my darling.” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The mother told her son that he was her darling.

    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.
