Reported speech We use reported speech to report what was said at a different time. If the initial verb (e. g. “he said”) is in the past, this requires a tense shift: going back one step towards the past. An exception is made when the fact is still true now.
EG:
I play football
He said that he played football
He is watching TV
He said that he was watching TV
She likes to study English
She said that she likes to study English
