🍄Here’s a clear explanation of changing the reporting verb and adding the conjunction ‘that’ while converting direct speech to indirect speech:

🔮Changing the Reporting Verb:
In direct speech, we often use “said”:
Example (Direct):
Priya said, “I usually leave the office around 6 in the evening.”

In indirect speech, if the person is telling something to someone (i.e., there is an object like me, us, him), we often use told instead of said
Direct speech मध्ये said वापरले जाते, पण जर एखाद्या व्यक्तीला सांगितले असेल (जसे "me", "him", "us"), तर told वापरतात.

🔮Example (Indirect Speech):
Priya told me that she usually left the office around 6 in the evening.
Priya said → Priya told me

🔮Adding the Conjunction ‘that’:
When converting to indirect speech, we add the conjunction that to connect the reporting clause with the reported clause.
Direct speech मध्ये वाक्य अवतरण चिन्हात (quotes) असते.
Indirect speech मध्ये ते quotes काढून that या जोडशब्दाने दोन्ही वाक्ये जोडली जातात.
Direct:
Priya said, “I leave at 6.”
Indirect:
Priya said that she left at 6.
"I leave at 6" → that she left at 6
