    This document summarizes the key changes when reporting speech in indirect speech. It outlines how reported statements, questions, orders and suggestions are structured differently than direct speech by using reporting verbs and changing verb tenses and other words. For example, reported statements use past tense ("He said students went to class every day") while reported questions change yes/no questions to include "if" and wh-questions change the word order ("She asked where the gym was").
