2. INDIRECT SPEECH, UNLIKE THE DIRECT STYLE, DO NOT USE THE QUOTES AND NEED NOT BE VERBATIM. IN GENERAL, WHEN INDIRECT
SPEECH IS USED, THE TENSE CHANGES. HERE YOU HAVE AN EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGES THEY UNDERGO TENSES.
SOMETIMES "THAT" IS USED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE TO INTRODUCE WHAT THE OTHER PERSON HAS SAID PHRASES. ON
THE OTHER HAND, INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES CAN BE USED "IF" OR "WHETHER".
NOTE: ALSO CONSIDER THAT EXPRESSIONS CHANGE OVER TIME SPEECH. NOTICE THE CHANGE OF TIME IN THE EXAMPLES BELOW,
AND THEN FIND A TABLE WITH MORE EXPLANATIONS OF THE CHANGES OF TIME IN SPEECH.

THEY SAID THAT THEY HADN'T BEEN WAITING LONG.
HE ASKED IF I'D BEEN SLEEPING WHEN HE CALLED.

MYSELF : MYSELF, ME
YOURSELF : YOURSELF (YOU), YOURSELF (TO YOU)
HIMSELF : HIMSELF, HIMSELF
HERSELF : HERSELF, ITSELF
ITSELF : HIMSELF, HIMSELF
OURSELVES: OURSELVES
YOURSELVES : YOURSELVES, YOURSELVES
THEMSELVES: THEMSELVES
Reflexive Pronouns

9. PERSONAL PRONOUNS REPRESENT SPECIFIC PEOPLE OR THINGS. WE USE THEM DEPENDING ON:
NUMBER: SINGULAR (EG: I) OR PLURAL (EG: WE)
PERSON: 1ST PERSON (EG: I), 2ND PERSON (EG: YOU) OR 3RD PERSON (EG: HE)
GENDER: MALE (EG: HE), FEMALE (EG: SHE) OR NEUTER (EG: IT)
CASE: SUBJECT (EG: WE) OR OBJECT (EG: US)
WE USE PERSONAL PRONOUNS IN PLACE OF THE PERSON OR PEOPLE THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. MY NAME IS
JOSEF BUT WHEN I AM TALKING ABOUT MYSELF I ALMOST ALWAYS USE "I" OR "ME", NOT "JOSEF". WHEN I AM
TALKING DIRECT TO YOU, I ALMOST ALWAYS USE "YOU", NOT YOUR NAME. WHEN I AM TALKING ABOUT
ANOTHER PERSON, SAY JOHN, I MAY START WITH "JOHN" BUT THEN USE "HE" OR "HIM". AND SO ON.
Personal Pronouns

PRONOUN):

DO YOU LIKE COFFEE? / JOHN LOVES YOU.
