(2)Change the Comma (,) or Colon (:) to THAT and omit the Quotation Marks (“……”)
(3)Change the Personal Pronouns and Possessive Adjectives, if necessary, according to
the meaning of the sentence.
(4)Change the verb in the Direct Speech one step into the Past if the introducing verb
(usually SAY) is in any Past Tense. (table)
