He said, "We had been friends for many years before we started working together." (Make it indirect)

Direct Speech:He said, "We had been friends for many years before we started working together."Indirect Speech:He said that they had been friends for many years before they started working together.• Narration এর নিয়মানুযায়ী, • Direct speech থেকে Indirect speech এ ক্ষেত্রে:- Reporting verb এর subject বসে।- Reporting verb say/said, tell/told (যদি থাকে) বসে।- Inverted comma উঠে that বসে।- Reported speech এর subject number/person অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তন করতে হবে।- যদি reported speech যদি had + verb এর past participle হয় তাহলে Indirect করার সময় Verb এর কোন পরিবর্তন হয় না।- অর্থাৎ, had + V3 এর পরিবর্তন হয় না।- বাকি অংশ বসে।• More examples:Direct: Alex said to me, "I had finished the report before the deadline."Indirect: Alex told me that he had finished the report before the deadline.
