The correct indirect speech is: "The Hyder said that it gave him great pleasure to be there that morning". Here is an explanation of the grammatical changes: • Reported Clause: When converting to indirect speech, you add a reported clause, such as "that". • Tense Change: The verb tense shifts back one step. "Gives" (present tense) becomes "gave" (past tense). • Pronoun Change: The pronoun "me" (first person) becomes "him" (third person) to reflect the speaker. • Adverbial Change: Adverbs of place and time also shift. "Here" becomes "there," and "this morning" becomes "that morning".
Choose the correct Indirect speech: The Hyder said, "It gives me great pleasure to be here this morning"?
