Reported Speech

1. In reported speech, we usually report what was said at a different time, and so we change the tense to reflect the time which we are reporting.

2. Sometimes we need to change the pronoun.

3. We may also need to change other words about place and time.


Function:
We use reported speech to tell someone what another person said.


Important Points of Using Reported Speech:
1. If we report something which is still true, it is not necessary to change the verb.
2. When we are reporting past tenses, and we see the events from the same viewpoint as the original speaker, it is not necessary to change the tense.
3.Modal verbs could, might, would, should, ought, had better usually do not change in reported speech.
