Explanation:

Reported speech is speech which tells you what someone said, but doesn't use the person's actual words: for example, 'They said you didn't like it, 'I asked her what her plans were, and ' Citizens complained about the smoke'. Reported Speech = 'Tomie said (that) she was tired. ' In the reported speech, we'd like to use the past tense form of the verb. In a direct speech, this tense is used. As you'll see, within the above sentence 'am' changes to 'was' when we use reported speech. One is to mention the same words and use quotation marks. that's "direct speech." the opposite method is to summarize, or tell about what someone said. this is often called "reported speech." Before we get into the principles for reporting speech, here are the terms we are using to elucidate it. Subject noun or pronoun.
