- A simple present, becomes a simple past.
▶Direct: He said,"I am unwell."
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."
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."
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."
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.
