    REPORTED SPEECH:

    Se utiliza cuando queremos expresar el significado general de lo


    que alguien dijo. El tiempo verbal cambia:

    De presente simple a pasado simple, se conjuga el verbo


    Infinitivo al de la Segunda Columna.

    PRESENT SIMPLE
    "I always drink coffee"

    PAST SIMPLE
    Carla said … that she always drank coffee.

    Se tiene en cuenta el pronombre del emisor (I, He, She, They,


    We)

    Cuando hablamos de algo que no ha cambiado (que sigue siendo


    cierto), no es necesario cambiar el tiempo verbal.
    “I’m 30 years old,” she said. → She said she is 30 years old

    Exercises:
    1- “I go to the cinema on Saturdays.”
    Peter said…that he went to the cinema on Saturdays

    2- “I don’t like horror films.”


    Charles said… he did not like horror films

    3- “Today is my birthday”
    Samantha said… that today was her birthday

    4- “Girls prefer fashion magazines.”


    He said… that girls preferred fashion magazines

    5- “I buy this magazine every weekend.”


    Brenda said… that she bought that magazine every
    weekend
