Direct speech is a form of speech or writing where the actual words spoken by a person are quoted within the quotation marks attributed by the speaker.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- There would be no change in the reporting verb.
- The third-person pronoun "he" is changed to the first-person pronoun "I".
- The past perfect tense "had taken" is changed to the present perfect tense "have taken".
- The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He said, "I have taken French lessons on Duolingo."
