     now  then
     today  that day
     tomorrow  the next day, the day after, the following day
     next ....  the ... after, the following ....
     yesterday  the day before
     the day before yesterday  two days before
     last ....  the .... before, the previous ....
     .... ago  .... before
     here  there
     this  that
     these  those

    Note : If the main verb of the sentence is in the present (e.g. says), no change is made in the
    verb tense or modal and adverbs of time in the noun clause.
    Example:
    Direct : Miko says,”I usually play badminton once a week.”
    Indirect : Miko says that he usually plays badminton once a week.
