 He said he was a student.
Ex2: “ I will wait for my friend at this café tomorrow”, she said.
 She said (that) she would wait for her friend at that cafe the next day.

- Use reporting verb say or tell: say that; say to sb that; tell sb that. Reporting verbs in reported speech usually in the past. And “that” is an optional.

E.g: Tom said (that) he was feeling ill
I told her (that) I didn’t have any money.
- Change the pronouns.
NOTES:
Change the tenses.
If the reporting verb is in the present tense (ex: says, tells) there is no tense change.
If the reporting verb is in past tense (ex: said, told) the verb in the reported clause moves “one tense moves back”.

- Change adverbs of time and place
