Question

Change this sentence into reported speech

"Should I tell them now";I thought to myself, "or should I wait until they are in a better mood"?

Answer 1

I thought to myself if I should tell them then or should i wait until they were in a better mood.

Step-by-step explanation:

During changing the speech of a sentence from direct to indirect, the present tense is changed into the past tense. Words such as now change to then. This is because, in the direct speech, a person is actually thinking or saying the words mentioned in the sentence. In an indirect speech, the person relates what he thought at a particular time or it is simply describing what other person said.
