i read these rules in a book but i am not sure if they are right:
1.direct:he said,"the speaker was speaking and the audience was cheering."
indirect:he said that the speaker was speaking and the audience was cherring.
(the tense has not changed into past perfect continuous because there are 2 verbs in past continuous)

2.direct:he said,"i lived in london for 2 years."
indirect:he said that he lived in london for 2 years.
(the tense has not changed into past perfect because it is a verb in simple past and mentions some time period.)

are these rules correct???????
