REPORTED SPEECH-GRAMMAR
If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the speakers exact words
(direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech. Therefore, you need to learn how to
transform direct speech into reported speech. The structure is a little different depending on
whether you want to transform a statement, question or request.
