<h3>What is reported speech?</h3>
Reported speech is a style used to report words or a person. This is a very common situation when someone is describing what another person asked or said.
<h3>How to rewrite a sentence in reported speech?</h3>
Some basic steps can be followed to change a sentence from direct to reported speech:
Remove the quotation marks.
Start with she/he said or name + said.
Modify the verb. For example, if the verb is in simple present change it to simple past, or if the verb is in present continuous change it to past continuous.
Modify time expressions such as yesterday, today, etc. if necessary.
Based on this, the sentence in the reported speech is:
Ncongwane said he was very happy to see the choir's success.
The answer is <em>add a period after ring and capitalize the first letter of she and add a semicolon after the ring.</em> This is because a fused sentence is a sentence that is separate but can be joined by punctuation and conjunctions.
