Объяснение:

• Опускаются кавычки, убирается запятая перед прямой речью.

• Личное местоимение меняются по смыслу

• Если в главном предложении глагол, вводящий прямую речь, стоит в одном из прошедших времен, то в косвенной речи в придаточном предложении глагол изменяется в соответствиями с правилами согласования времен, то есть принимает соответствующую форму прошедшего времени. То есть если в прямой речи было Present Simple, время меняется на Past Simple; если было Present Perfect, меняется на Past Perfect; если Present Continuous, меняется на Past Continuous. Если же в прямой речи было будущее время, оно меняется с помощью глагола would на соответствующую форму «будущее в прошедшем» (Future in the Past).

Таблицу согласования времен смотри во вложении.
