Answer:

⏩ When the reporting verb is in the Past Tense, all Present Tenses of the direct are changed into the corresponding Past Tense. Thus :

• A simple present, becomes a simple past.

▶Direct: He said,"I am unwell."

Indirect: He said that he was unwell.

• A present continuous becomes a past continuous.

▶Direct: He said,"My master is writing letters."

Indirect: He said that his master was writing letters.

• A present perfect becomes a past perfect.

▶Direct: He said,"I have passed the examination."

Indirect: He said that he had passed the examination.

⏩The shall of the future tense is changed to should.

▶Direct: He said,"The horse died in the night."

Indirect: He said that the horse has died in the night.

⏩The tenses may not change if the statement is still relevant.

▶Direct: German is easy to learn.",she said.

Indirect: She said German is/was easy to learn.

⏩If the reporting verb is in the present tense, the tenses to the direct speech do not change.

▶He says he is unwell.
