Answer:

1. He said that he never makes mistakes.

2. John said he loved that town.

3. She said that she always wakes up early.

4. They asked to be let inside. or They asked to come inside.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change a speech from the direct form to indirect form requires the change in the structure of the sentence and also in the tenses accordingly. Moreover, the quotation marks and other signifiers of a direct quoted speech are removed, replaced with the words such as "said that" asked that" and so on.

The given sentences in their indirect forms are as follows-

1. He said that he never makes mistakes.

2. John said he loved that town.

3. She said that she always wakes up early.

4. They asked to be let inside. or They asked to come inside.
