Transformation of Sentences
The sentences are given in direct speech. While transforming them into indirect speech, the quotation marks need to be removed. An indirect speech should always end with a complete stop.
The subordinate clause should be changed to the past tense of the given verb. If the tense is already in simple past, it should be changed to past perfect tense.
