“What is your name?”

                  “How are you today?”

                                             “Where do you live?” 

                                                             “I am very tired today”                                  

                                                                                  “My cat is jumping on the bed”

Do you know how to tell someone what somebody else said?

                                         In English?

We need to think about 3 things:

A.  Who is the person speaking?

                                    Which pronouns do I need to change?

B.  What is the tense used?

            You need to backshift (you will learn what that is in a minute, I promise…)

C.  What time expressions are used?

                               You need to change them as well…
