Reported speech
When do we use reported speech? 
We use reported speech when we are saying what the other person say, 
think or believe. 
He says he wants it.
He thinks he loves her. 
I'll say to him you are not 
coming. 
 she has said she'll do it. 
When we are reporting things in the present, future or present 
perfect we don't change the tense
When we tell people what someone has said in 
the past, we usually make the tense in past'. 
 Cristian has bought a new car. 
She said Polly had bought a new car.
Nevertheless, when we are reporting something that was said in 
the past, but it is still true,it is not obligatory to make the tense in 
the past. 
Example: 
o "I like Daniela." 
He said he likes Daniela. 
He said he liked Daniela.
When we are reporting we have to change 
other words in the sentence
