�� Rules of Conversion from Direct to Indirect Speech (Assertive Sentence):
· Change in reporting verb: “said to” becomes told (when followed by an object like “his wife”).
· Pronoun changes: "I" → "he" (according to subject “Lee”)
· Tense change: Present tense “am” → Past tense “was” (as reporting verb “said” is in past)
· Time word changes: “today” → that day
