More to know:

• Direct speech is what the speaker actually says.
• Indirect speech is reporting it from the narrator's point of view.

Remember:

• The reporting verb is usually in the past tense.

• In the reported speech words denoting first person (I, my,me, mine, myself, we, our, us, ours, ourselves) change according to the subject & words denoting second person (you, your, yours, yourself, yourselves) change according to the object.

• Demonstrators in the reported speech change, e.g. ‘this’ into ‘that’ ; ‘now into then’ ; ‘here’ into ‘there’ ; ‘tomorrow’ into ‘the next day’ ; ‘Yesterday’ into ‘the previous day’. Then is usually dropped.
