REPORTED SPEECH There are two ways of relating what a person has said:” direct  &  indirect ”
Direct speech We repeat the original speaker’s exact words; e.g. He said,”I have lost my keys.” Direct speech is generally found in plays, conversations in books and quotations.
Indirect Speech: We give exact meaning of a remark or speech, without using the speaker’s exact words. e.g. He said that he had lost his keys. He said he had lost his keys.
When we turn direct speech into indirect speech some changes are neccessary.
Direct  Indirect “  I  watch  TV everyday”said Joe. Joe said he  watched  TV, “ I’ m watching  TV”said Joe. Joe said he  was watching  TV. “  I  watched   TV”said Joe.  Joe said he  had watched  TV. “  I  have watched   TV”said Joe. Joe said he  had watched  TV. “ I  will watch  TV”said Joe Joe said he  would watch  TV. “ I’ m going to watch  TV” said Joe. Joe said he  was going to watch  TV “ I  can watch  TV”said Joe. He said he  could watch  TV “ I  may watch  TV”said Joe He said that he  might watch  TV “ I  must watch  TV”said Joe He said he  had to watch  TV. “ I  have to watch  TV”said Joe.
