Explanation:
In English, we use the Indirect speech to transmit someone's words, statements, messages, etc. without quoting them explicitly.
In Indirect speech we must make some changes in the form of a sentence, this is, modify the point in time and place and the person speaking, according to the Indirect speech rules. This refers to the verbal tenses, pronouns, adverbs of place, time, etc.
