Reporting and summarising. When we want to report what people say, we don't usually try to report their exact words. We usually give a summary, for example: Direct speech (exact words): Mary: Oh dear. We've been walking for hours! I'm exhausted. I don't think I can go any further. I really need to stop for a rest. Peter: Don't worry.
Reported speech. Time and place must often change when going from direct to reported speech (indirect speech). In general, personal pronouns change to the third person singular or plural, except when the speaker reports his own words: I/me/my/mine, you/your/yours = him/his/her/hers. we/us/our/ours, you/your/yours = they/their/theirs.
We can use the reporting verb in the present simple in indirect speech if the original words are still true or relevant at the time of reporting, or if the report is of something someone often says or repeats: Sheila says they’re closing the motorway tomorrow for repairs. Henry tells me he’s thinking of getting married next year.
