Write 3 sentences that you hear in quoted speech. There are many ways to do this. Please vary your style and word choice to make it interesting. In other words, do not write all of the quotes in the same format.
For instance,
"I heard you the first time," Ricky said to Lucy, "but what language is it?"
Part 2:
Reply to your own comment. WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO is to rewrite your original sentence in reported (indirect) speech.
For instance,
