- Pronouns: Adjusted pronouns to match the subject of the reporting verb (I → he/she/they).
- Tense shifts:
- Present continuous (am going) → Past continuous (was going).
- Present perfect (have finished) → Past perfect (had finished).
- Present continuous (are playing) → Past continuous (were playing).
- Removed quotation marks and adjusted punctuation (comma + full stop instead of a comma + inverted comma).
