1. Peter said, "I won't be going to school tomorrow." - In reported speech, Peter is informing someone that he will not attend school the next day. The reporting verb "said" is used to convey Peter's statement indirectly.

2. My dad said, "I didn't have time to call you." - The reported speech here indicates that the speaker's dad is expressing the reason for not being able to make a phone call. The reporting verb "said" is used to convey the message indirectly.

3. She told him, "I was angry because you'd forgotten my birthday." - In this case, the speaker (she) is conveying to someone (him) that she was upset due to the fact that he had forgotten her birthday. The reporting verb "told" is used to report the speech indirectly.

4. Sue told her parents, "I'd like to get a new phone." - Sue is expressing her desire to her parents about getting a new phone. The reporting verb "told" is used to report this statement indirectly.

In reported speech, there are several changes that may occur:

- The pronouns might change. For instance, "I" in direct speech becomes "he," "she," or "they" in reported speech, depending on the context. - The verb tenses can shift. For example, present simple can change to past simple, and past simple can change to past perfect. - Time expressions may need to be adjusted. - Modal verbs might undergo changes based on the context of the reported speech.
