Read Explanation:

If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the corresponding past tense. If it is in the simple past tense, change it into the past perfect tense. But When the reporting verb is in a present or future tense, we do not change the tense of the verb inside the quotation marks. Direct speech: She says, ‘I will come.’ Indirect speech: She says that she will come.
