The teacher said, “Who has broken this chair?” Change into Indirect Speech

  1. Indirect Speech: The teacher asked who had broken that chair.

    Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the present perfect tense, then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past perfect tense.

    Present Perfect Tense > Past Perfect Tense.
