Explanation
When converting direct speech to indirect speech, certain changes are required: 1) Reporting verbs are adjusted (e.g., 'Wow!' becomes 'exclaimed excitedly'), 2) Interjections and exclamatory marks are removed, 3) Pronouns change according to the speaker (e.g., 'I' becomes 'she', 'my' becomes 'her'), 4) Tenses shift back one step (e.g., 'had' becomes 'had had', 'spilled' becomes 'had spilled', 'now looks' becomes 'then looked', 'That's' becomes 'it was'), and 5) Expressions of time/place change (e.g., 'today' becomes 'that day', 'now' becomes 'then').
