Reported Speech

When you use reported speech, you either report statements, questions, requests, orders or other types. When transforming questions, use the same rules as in reported statements. Check whether you have to transform pronouns, demonstratives, tenses, and time or placeexpressions. Пример: Pronouns She says, “My dad likes roast chicken.” She says that her dad likes roast chicken.
