2. "I'm sure I've seen their pictures somewhere." Mrs White stated that their pictures somewhere.
Direct-indirect: Mrs White stated that she was sure she had seen their pictures somewhere.
Explanation: Mrs White's statement is reported indirectly by changing the pronoun "I" to "she" and conjugating the verb "am" to "was". In addition, the pronoun "their" is changed to "she" to match the subject of the reported speech. The pronoun "somewhere" remains unchanged.
