Question

3rd person pronouns in reporeported clause are always changed according to the object of the reporting clause

Answer 1

Answer:

Reported speech is when we want to report one person’s speech to another person but we don’t use the exact words because we focus on the message rather than the exact words.

While using reported speech, we change the first person pronouns according to the subject of the reporting verb.

FORM

In reported speech the original subject (or subjects) of the clause turns into the third person singular (or plural).

In particular:

First person pronouns (I, me, us, we, mine, our) in reported speech change into third person pronouns (he, she, it, they, him, his, her, hers, them, their, theirs), if the reporting verb refers to third person pronouns. They do not change if the reporting verb refers to first person pronouns;

Third person pronouns (he, she, it, they, him, his, her, hers, them, their, theirs) do not change at all in reported speech.

NOTE: If a second person pronoun (you, your, yours) is the object of the main sentence, they change into first person singular and plural (I, me, us, we, mine, our, ours) in indirect speech.

EXAMPLE

She told me that she would ask a receipt next time. (I)
