Report Speech
The Reported speech or indirect style is a
structure that we use when reporting or
menion about something someone said
previously.
We use reported speech when we are
saying what other people say, think or
believe.

Examples
She says I'm your mother
Mr. McCaffre says my weiting is clear
She told me he had asked her to marry him
We think you are right
I believe he loves her

When we are reporting things in the present,

future or present perfect we don't change
the tense.

He thinks he loves her

I'll tell her you are coming
He has said he'll do it
