Vorbirea indirecta se foloseste pentru a transmite ceea ce altcineva a spus. De cele mai multe ori, verbul din propozitia principala este la timpul trecut (he said that, he told me,he explained, he complained etc). Nu putem avea timp trecut in principala si timp prezent in secundara. Si-atunci, timpurile din propozitia secundara se vor transforma, astfel:
-present simple in past simple(vezi propozitiile 1 si 5);
-present continuous in past continuous;(vezi propozitia 4 )
-past simple in past perfect simple; (vezi propozitiile 2 si 3)
