To convert the given sentences into reported speech, we often need to change the tense, pronouns, and sometimes time expressions. Here’s how to do that step-by-step for each sentence:

1. Direct Speech: I'm happy to be here today.
   Reported Speech: He/She said that he/she was happy to be there that day.

2. Direct Speech: I'm writing a play.
   Reported Speech: He/She said that he/she was writing a play.

3. Direct Speech: I have never written a play before.
   Reported Speech: He/She said that he/she had never written a play before.

4. Direct Speech: When I finish, I will choose the actors myself.
   Reported Speech: He/She said that when he/she finished, he/she would choose the actors himself/herself.

5. Direct Speech: I was inspired by a trip to California last year.
   Reported Speech: He/She said that he/she had been inspired by a trip to California the previous year.

6. Direct Speech: I may go to the US again next year.
   Reported Speech: He/She said that he/she might go to the US again the following year.

7. Direct Speech: I must go now because my manager's waiting for me.
   Reported Speech: He/She said that he/she had to go then because his/her manager was waiting for him/her.

Summary of Changes:

• Pronouns changed to reflect the speaker's perspective in reported speech.
• Tenses changed according to standard rules of sequence (present to past).
• Time expressions adjusted (e.g., "today" to "that day," "next year" to "the following year").
