Concetti Chiave
- Il present simple diventa past simple nel discorso indiretto, ad esempio "I live" cambia in "she lived".
- Il present continuous si trasforma in past continuous, come "I am leaving" che diventa "he was leaving".
- Il past simple e il present perfect si convertono in past perfect, es. "I ate" diventa "he had eaten".
- "Will" si cambia in "would" nel discorso indiretto, ad esempio "I will help" diventa "I would help".
- La struttura "to be going to" diventa "was/were going to", come in "I am going to leave" che diventa "you were going to leave".

Attenzione
Quando si usa il verbo To Say, questo viene seguito da un pronome personale soggetto (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they)
Quando usiamo il verbo tell, questo viene seguito da un pronome personale complemento (me, you, him, her, it, us, uoy, them)
Entrambi possono essere seguiti da un nome proprio
