If there is a
proposal in the Reported Speech, said
is changed to proposed or suggested, the Conjunction that is used and let is replaced by should;
for example :
Direct Speech : He said to me, “Let us first make a plan for the
outing.”
Indirect Speech : He proposed to me that we should first make a plan
for the outing.
Direct Speech : The mechanic said to his assistant, “Let us open the
machine and then locate the fault.”
Indirect Speech : The mechanic suggested to his assistant that they
should open the machine and then locate the fault.
