🗨️ Exercise 5. Reported Speech

📚 Essential Theory

📌 When we report what another person said, the tense usually moves one step back into the past.

Direct Speech	Reported Speech	Example
Present Simple	Past Simple	“I work a lot.” → He said he worked a lot.
Present Continuous	Past Continuous	“I am studying.” → She said she was studying.
Present Perfect	Past Perfect	“I have finished.” → He said he had finished.
Past Simple	Past Perfect	“I visited London.” → She said she had visited London.
will	would	“I will call you.” → He said he would call me.
can	could	“I can help.” → She said she could help.
must	had to	“I must leave.” → He said he had to leave.

🌟 The main pattern

Present → Past

Past → Past Perfect

will → would

can → could

must → had to

💬 Simple structure

said + (that) + sentence

➡️ Anna said, “I am tired.”

➡️ Anna said that she was tired.

➡️ Tom said, “I have finished my homework.”

➡️ Tom said that he had finished his homework.

📌 “That” is often optional.

➡️ He said that he was tired.

➡️ He said he was tired.
