He said to me," Don't waste your time" change into indirect speech

Direct Speech:

He said to me, "Don't waste your time."

Indirect Speech:

He told me not to waste my time.

Explanation:

When you use quotations, the sentence is in indirect speech. If you have to convert it into indirect then all you have to do is – find a way to remove the quotation without committing logical or grammatical errors.

When the other person said to you, "Don't waste your time", you quoted his "exact" words and put them in your sentence. That made it direct speech.

Now, when you're converting it into indirect you're making an easy sentence in "your own" words. To do that you'll say "He advised me not to waste my time or He told me not to waste my time." You can even use some other words to frame your sentence.

Hope this helps!
