• A present continous becomes a past continous;

• A present perfect becomes a past perfect.

• The 'shall' of the future tense is changed into 'should'.

• The 'will' of the future tense is changed into 'would' or 'should'.

• Introduction of reporting verb :-

• According to the quotes if it is an assertive use ‘said’.

• If it is an interrogative use ‘asked’.

• If it is an exclamatory use ‘exclaimed’.

• It is an request, order or suggestion use ‘requested’, ‘ordered’ or ‘suggested’ respectively.

• Introduction of 'that' :-

• Only if the reporting verb is ‘said’, ‘told’, etc. and not for things like ‘asked’.

• Introduction of 'if’ or ‘whether' :-

• If the words in the quotes are interrogative and yes/no type questions, use ‘if’ or ‘whether’ depending on whether the situation is informal (if) or formal (whether).
