What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?
- Reported speech usually steps one tense back: 'I am busy' becomes 'He said he was busy.'
- Use 'told' with a person and 'said' without one: She told me she would call. She said she would call.
- The passive puts the action first when the doer is unknown or not important: The file was sent yesterday.
- Add 'by' only when the doer matters: The report was written by our team.
