What is indirect speech?

Indirect speech is when we use our words to tell others what someone said. Some alterations must be done to the original sentence:

• We must use the past form of the original verbs. If the original sentence was in the present, the indirect one will be in the past.
• We must change the pronouns according to who the speaker and the listener are.
• We must change time expressions to indicate when the action happened.

Take a look at the example below:

• Direct: Jason said, "You look beautiful tonight."

• Indirect: Jason told her that she looked beautiful that night.
