Here is the step-by-step explanation of how the sentence is changed into Indirect Speech.

Indirect Speech:
He told me that he had preferred travelling by train instead of bus.
त्याने मला सांगितले की तो बसऐवजी ट्रेनने प्रवास करणे पसंत करायचा.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Direct Speech (मूळ वाक्य):
He said to me, "I prefer travelling by train instead of bus."
तो मला म्हणाला, "मी बसऐवजी ट्रेनने प्रवास करणे पसंत करतो."

2. Reporting Verb Change (अहवाल देणाऱ्या क्रियापदात बदल):
• said to me → told me
त्याने मला सांगितले

3. Add ‘that’ (that जोडणे):
• "that" वापरून reported speech जोडतो.
Example: "I prefer..." → that he had preferred...

4. Pronoun Change (सर्वनामात बदल):
• "I" (Rahul बोलतोय) → "he"
• me मला → him त्याला

5. Tense Change (काळ बदलणे):
• prefer (present simple) → had preferred (past perfect)
• कारण reporting verb past tense मध्ये आहे (told)
• past liking म्हणून इंग्रजीत past perfect.

6. Final Sentence (शेवटचं अप्रत्यक्ष वाक्य):
He told me that he had preferred travelling by train instead of bus.
त्याने मला सांगितले की तो बसऐवजी ट्रेनने प्रवास करणे पसंत करायचा.
