The indirect form of: Imran said, "Thank you, my friends."

• Direct Narration: Imran said, "Thank you, my friends."
• Indirect Narration: Imran thanked his friends.

• Narration -এর নিয়মানুযায়ী,
- প্রথমে Reporting verb -এর subject বসে
- Direct Narration -এ Thank you/Thanks কিংবা Congratulations!/Welcome থাকলে Indirect Narration -এ reporting verb 'said' -এর পরিবর্তে Thanked/Congratulated/Welcome বসে।
- তারপর, Reported speech -এর person পরিবর্তন করতে হয়, reported speech -এর 1st person (my), reporting verb -এর Subject অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তিত হয়।
- এক্ষেত্রে, his হবে।
- তারপর object (বাকি অংশ) বসবে।

• Structure: Subject + reporting verb (thanked) + Ext.

• More examples:
• Direct Narration: He said to me, "Thank you."
• Indirect Narration: He thanked me.
