The teacher said, “Well done, my boy!” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The teacher praised the boy saying that he had done well.

    Explanation: While reporting imperative sentences we use reporting verbs like ask, request, beg, order, advise, wish etc to match the mood of the sentence.

    And when the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the past indefinite tense, then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past perfect tense.

    Past Indefinite Tense > Past Perfect Tense.
