Explanation
When converting direct speech to indirect speech:- "Yes" is often omitted, as it's a response to a question and not essential to the main message.- "I" becomes "you" (the subject of the sentence).- "am writing" becomes "were writing" (change from present continuous to past continuous).- "now" becomes "then" (change from present time to past time).
