Time, place and people in reported speech 

When we tell others about something someone said or did, we might change the way we talk about time, place and people. It's like adjusting the details so the story makes sense from our point of view.

People "We're having a party." She said they were having a party.
Time "We had a party last night." She said they'd had a party the previous night.
Places "I'll meet you here." She said she'd meet me there.

 

 Expressions that change   

Notice how these expressions change in reported speech. 

Direct speech  Reported speech 
today that day
tonight that night
now  then
last week the week before / the previous week
next year the following year / the next year
tomorrow the following day /  the next day
here there
this that / the 
these those

Olivia: Absolutely insane moves! I mean, they're doing everything from the moonwalk to the robot. And the energy in this room is insane.

간접 화법: 동사 변화 없음

 의미의 뉘앙스에 주목해 봐요

 

  • She said she wasn't going to talk to him ever again.

    그녀는 다시는 그와 이야기하지 않을 거라고 했어요.

In this sentence, the speaker uses the past tense in reported speech after "said".

 

 

  • He said that he doesn't want to have a dog.

    그는 개를 원하지 않는다고 말했어요.

In this sentence, the speaker keeps the present tense in reported speech after "said".

 

 

 Present tense or past tense in reported speech?  

We can keep the present tense in reported speech if the information is still true at the moment of reporting it.

He said that he works from home. He still works from home.
They said they are running in the park. They are still running.

 

  • Karen said her downstairs neighbours bought a new car.

    카렌은 아래층 이웃이 새 차를 샀다고 했어요.

In this sentence, Karen uses the past simple after "said".
 
  • Karen said her next-door neighbours had divorced the previous year.

    카렌은 옆집 이웃이 작년에 이혼했다고 말했어요.

In this sentence, Karen uses the past perfect after "said".
 

Past simple or past perfect in reported speech?  

To talk about past events in reported speech, you can decide to keep the past simple tense ("she sold") or change it to the past perfect ("she'd sold").

She said she sold her house. Selling the house feels recent to the speaker.
She said she'd sold her house. Selling the house seems a long time ago to the speaker.

 

  • Karen said the Smiths' daughter had moved back home.

    카렌은 스미스 가족의 딸이 집으로 다시 이사 왔다고 했어요.

Using the past perfect ("had moved") after "said" makes the action appear more distant in time.

 

  • Karen said the Johnsons' son is going to a very expensive university.

    카렌은 존슨 가족의 아들이 학비가 아주 비싼 대학교에 다닌다고 했어요.

If the information is still true at the moment of reporting it, we keep the present tense after "said".
 
  • Karen said the Petersons left their rubbish out on the street.

    카렌은 피터슨 가족이 길에 쓰레기를 내다 버렸다고 말했어요.

Using the past simple ("left") after "said" makes the action appear recent.
