He says to me, "You are my friend." (Choose the correct indirect narration)

Direct Speech: He says to me, "You are my friend."

Key Rules:

1. Reporting verb in present tense (says)

   • When the reporting verb is in the present tense, no change of tense is made in indirect speech.

2. Change of pronouns

   • You → I (according to the listener).

   • my → his (according to the speaker).

3. Change of reporting verb

   • says to → tells (correct indirect form).

Thus, the correct indirect speech is: He tells me that I am his friend.
