Question

Tap the option that correctly completes the given sentence in reported speech.
Direct speech: Sam said, ‘I have written a beautiful poem’.
Reported speech: ___________________ a beautiful poem.

Answer 1

The correct answer is ‘Sam said that he had written’. Here, in reported speech the pronoun ‘I’ changes to ‘he’ as Sam is a male and the verb ‘have written’ in present perfect tense changes to ‘had written’ in past perfect tense.
