- Reported speech is when we tell someone what another
person said. To do this, we can use direct speech or indirect
speech.
- In indirect speech, we often use a tense which is 'further
back' in the past (e.g. worked) than the tense originally
used (e.g. work). This is called 'backshift'. We also may
need to change other words that were used, for example
pronouns.
