Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Convert the following sentence to indirect speech: 'She said, I am not feeling well.'
Step 1: Identify the reporting verb in the sentence. In this case, it is 'said'.
Step 2: Change the direct speech part from 'I am not feeling well' to indirect speech.
Step 3: Change the present continuous tense 'am feeling' to past continuous tense 'was feeling'.
Step 4: Combine the reporting verb with the changed sentence. The final sentence will be: 'She said that she was not feeling well.'
Indirect Speech – Indirect speech involves reporting what someone else has said without quoting their exact words, often requiring changes in tense, pronouns, and time expressions.
Tense Change – In indirect speech, the present continuous tense (e.g., 'am not feeling') changes to past continuous tense (e.g., 'was not feeling').
