Reported Speech

REPORTED SPEECH
Reported speech or indirect speech is a way of expressing what the other person (speaker) has said directly (direct / quoted speech) in the form of statements, questions, or greeting another by changing the format of the talks so that it becomes more clear, natural, and efficient for the listener. Reported speech consists of two kinds: Direct and Indirect speech speech.
Direct speech is the way that we use to convey what others say or write (can be a statement, question, etc.) by quoting exactly according to the word of the person.
In contrast to the indirect speech, tenses delivered the sentence changed shape so that it can be presented more clearly and efficiently to the listener.
3 important things that must be considered in changing the sentence directly to the indirect sentence:

1. tenses
Tenses in the sentence immediately be converted into a more past tenses. Present tense> Past tense> Past Perfect tense.
Neither is the case with the form of future tenses.
Simple Future tense> Future Past tense> Past Future Perfect tense.
Ex :
Direct Speech Indirect Speech
I am hungry (Present tense) I was hungry (Past tense)
I will sleep early tonight. (Simple future tense) I would sleep early tonight. (Future Past tense.)

2. pronouns
And possessive pronouns change depending on the sabjek and objects used in direct speech (direct speech) that would affect pronoun changes in indirect speech (sentences indirectly).
ex :
Direct speech> Santi: "I want to watch the movie."
Indrect> Santi said that she wanted towatch the movie.
Ray: "My mother Came yesterday."
Ray said that his mother had come yesterday.

3. Adverb of time
Not only that, in a change from direct speech to indirect speech adverbs also affects especially the adverb of time (time information) and an adverb of place (place description).
Ex :
Kristin: I bought my sister a dress yesterday. (Simple past)
kristin said that he had bought her sister a dress the previous day. (Past tense)
