The document discusses reported or indirect speech in English. It explains that indirect speech involves changing verbs, pronouns, possessive adjectives, time and place expressions when reporting what someone else said. For example, changing "I" to "she", "here" to "there", present tense verbs to past tense, and changing other verb tenses and modal verbs accordingly when moving from direct to indirect speech. It provides examples of these types of changes and guidelines for using "say" versus "tell" in reported statements.
