&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
= 🗨️ Exercise 5. Reported Speech =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 📚 Essential Theory ==&lt;br /&gt;
📌 When we report what another person said, the tense usually moves one step back into the past.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|Direct Speech&lt;br /&gt;
|Reported Speech&lt;br /&gt;
|Example&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Present Simple&lt;br /&gt;
|Past Simple&lt;br /&gt;
|“I work a lot.” → He said he worked a lot.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Present Continuous&lt;br /&gt;
|Past Continuous&lt;br /&gt;
|“I am studying.” → She said she was studying.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Present Perfect&lt;br /&gt;
|Past Perfect&lt;br /&gt;
|“I have finished.” → He said he had finished.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Past Simple&lt;br /&gt;
|Past Perfect&lt;br /&gt;
|“I visited London.” → She said she had visited London.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|will&lt;br /&gt;
|would&lt;br /&gt;
|“I will call you.” → He said he would call me.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|can&lt;br /&gt;
|could&lt;br /&gt;
|“I can help.” → She said she could help.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|must&lt;br /&gt;
|had to&lt;br /&gt;
|“I must leave.” → He said he had to leave.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 🌟 The main pattern ===&lt;br /&gt;
Present → Past&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Past → Past Perfect&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
will → would&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
can → could&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
must → had to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 💬 Simple structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
said + (that) + sentence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
➡️ Anna said, “I am tired.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
➡️ Anna said that she was tired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
➡️ Tom said, “I have finished my homework.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
➡️ Tom said that he had finished his homework.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
📌 “That” is often optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
➡️ He said that he was tired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
➡️ He said he was tired.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= ✍️ Exercise 6. Direct → Reported Speech =&lt;br /&gt;
📌 Rewrite the sentences in reported speech. Concentrate mainly on changing the tense correctly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# 📚 Anna said, “I study English every day.” → Anna said ____________________________________________.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🎧 Max said, “I am listening to a podcast.” → Max said ____________________________________________.&lt;br /&gt;
# ✅ Kate said, “I have finished my homework.” → Kate said ____________________________________________.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
