Examples
Questions to make you think:
When indirect speech is used some things change. These changes have been put in bold. Write down answers to the following questions about the changes.
1) In sentence 1, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 the subject of the sentence changes in indirect speech (we  they & I  she/he). why?
Answer: …
2) What happens to the verbs in the sentences?
3) Question 2 gets whether/if but question 3 doesn’t. Why?
4) Why doesn’t the verb ‘like’ (sentence 8) change in indirect speech?
5) Why do tomorrow (sentence 10) and tonight (sentence 11) change to the day after and that night?
6) Can you think of more words, that express time, that would change in indirect speech because of that reason? Name at least 3:
Direct: Indirect:
1. … …
2. … …
3. … …
1) In sentence 1, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10 the subject of the sentence changes in indirect speech (we  they & I  she/he). why?
Answer: Because in those direct sentences, the subjects are the persons talking. Therefore, if they are repeated in indirect speech by someone else, the pronouns have to change. You can’t say: “I saw a unicorn” if you’re talking about someone else who said that.
2) What happens to the verbs in the sentences?
Answer: The verbs change into a form further down towards the past on the timeline. Present simple  past simple
Present continuous  past continuous
Past simple  past perfect
Present perfect  Past perfect.
3) Question 2 gets whether/if but question 3 doesn’t. Why?
Answer: Sentence 3 has an interrogative (question word: where) and sentence 2 doesn’t.
4) Why doesn’t the verb ‘like’ (sentence 8) change in indirect speech?
Answer: Because that sentence is a negation so it has the auxiliary verb ‘to do’ + not in it. The auxiliary verb ‘to do’ changes in stead of the main verb (to like) do not  did not/didn’t .
5) Why do tomorrow (sentence 10) and tonight (sentence 11) change to the day after and that night?
Answer: Because when you say what someone else said at a certain time, it might not be about yesterday, tomorrow, or tonight anymore. It might already be a few weeks ago.
If you have bought a sofa on Sunday and you tell your friend about this on Monday
“I bought a sofa yesterday” your friend can’t say you had bought it yesterday a week later. Therefore your friend should say: “He/she said he/she had bought it the day before. “
6) Can you think of more words, that express time, that would change in indirect speech because of that reason? Name at least 3:
Direct: Indirect:
1. last week the week before
2. next week the week after
3. Last month the month before
4. yesterday the day before
etc.
