Alex said that he had finished his homework long before. (Change the narration)

• Narration এর নিয়মানুযায়ী,
• Indirect এ before থাকলে direct এ তা পরিবর্তিত হয়ে ago হয়।
- আর long ago থাকলে verb এর past indefinite tense হয়।

• Structure:
- Indirect: Subject + said + that + past perfect (sub + had + past participle) + long before.
- Direct: Subject + said, + past indefinite (sub + past form) + long ago.

Indirect: Soleil said that he had seen him long before.
Direct: Soleil said, "I saw him long ago."

Indirect: Alex said that he had finished his homework long before.
Direct: Alex said, "I finished my homework long ago."

• এখানে Past Perfect Tense "had finished" → Past Indefinite "finished" হয়ে গেছে এবং long before → long ago-এ পরিবর্তিত হয়েছে।
