How To Make - Examples?

Now We are going to learn how to make Sentence But Before we move forward i want to tell you that Whenever you will start making sentences first you will have the Sentence like this One ->(' She says to me , "I Teach English" ') now your work will be make example using below steps and please don't be confuse because everything will be clear after you the given steps

Sentence : She says to me , "I Teach English"

Step No 1 - First we will take the - She

Step No 2 - Second we will take the - says to but before we take this we have to see in Rule of Say and in the rules we will see what is the change of says to and the change is tells

So till now our indirect sentence is She tells
Step No 3 - Third we will take me so then sentence will become - She tells me
Step No 4 - Fourth We will replace ( " , ) Comma and quotation mark With That

Now our sentence is She tells me that
Step No 5 - Fifth we will see after commna what we have means do we have I , we Or Your because in this case we have I so will take the subject which is she don't be confuse this is from Rule No 5

Now we the setence is She tells me that she
Step No 6 - we will take teach but because we are learning present narrations and as you know in present we have the rule of third person singular which means we have she so will add es at the end of the verb and in this example verb is teach so it will become teaches

Now we have successfully made our sentence Which is (She tells me that she teaches english)

Normal Example	Change Into Direct / InDirect
1 - She says to me , "I Teach English"	She tells me That she Teaches English
2 - They say to us , "We learn Computer"	They tell us that They learn Computer
3 - He says to me , "I play football"	He says to me That he plays football
