change into indirect speech and give the answers and reason
Dear student,
Here are the answers:
1. Meena says that Honesty is the best policy.
As this is a universal truth we do not change the tense in indirect speech.
2. He said that Janakbhai showed children's film.
Here the verb in present tense "shows" changes to past tense "showed".
3. People said that they were fighting for food.
Present continuous "are fighting" changes to past continuous tense "were fighting".
4. The doctors said that the patients had taken their medicines.
Verb in present perfect "have taken" changes to past perfect tense "had taken".
5. Bakul said that Jyoti had bought a new TV.
Verb in past tense "bought" changes to past perfect tense "had bought".
Regards
