Solution(By Examveda Team)
When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we need to make certain changes. The reporting verb "said" changes to "told," and the pronouns and tenses also change accordingly. In this case, "I" changes to "me," "expect" changes to "expected," and "attend" remains the same as it is in the infinitive form.
