Hello,

1. He said, "You are lazy."

2. He said , "We are lazy."

How to convert it into indirect speech?

I am familiar to convert into indirect speech. But I am not able to decide about the person , means for (1) "you" should change into what?

Is anyone give me some thoughts on it?

1. He said that I was/(we were) lazy.
2. He said that they were lazy.

In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.
