The teacher said to me, “You always tell a lie.” Change into Indirect Speech

2 Answers

  1. Indirect Speech: The teacher told me that I always told a lie.

    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.
