INDIRECT SPEECH
- is used when we report somebody elses words and introduce them by a reporting verb in the past tense;the original tense should change, i.e.:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
present perfect present future
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
past perfect past future-in-the-past
It may also be necessary to change adverbs of time or place as well as some other expressions, e.g.:here = there now = then this = that yesterday = the day before ago = before next wee = the following wee
