REPORTED SPEECH
REPORTED SPEECH
In reported speech we usually report what was said at a different time, and so we change the tense to reflect the time which we are reporting. We normally "shift back" one tense.
- Direct speech: "I'm not playing football.
- Reported speech: "He said that he wasn't playing football."
Sometimes we need to change the pronoun.
- Direct speech: Jane: "I don't like living here." (Jane is referring to herself)
- Reported speech: Jane said (that) she didn't like living here. (The pronoun she refers to Jane)
We may also need to change other words about place and time.
- Direct speech: "I like this car."
- Reported speech: He said (that) he liked that car.
- Direct speech: "I went to Tokyo last week."
- Reported speech: She said (that) she'd been to Tokyo the week before.
