Reported speech

In direct speech, we give the exact words somebody said, and we use quotations marks.

In reported speech, we give the meaning of what someone said, but with some changes and without quotations marks.

Example:

Nam: ‘I want to become a robot designer.’

→ He said that he wanted to become a robot designer.

When the reporting verb (e.g say or tell) is in the past, the verb in reported speech changes as follows:

‘I like sciences.’

→ Past simple

‘I am staying for a few days.’

→ Past continuous

now → then

today → that day

here → there

this week → that day

tomorrow → the following day/ the next day

yesterday → the day before/ the previous day
