    The document provides examples of reported speech using the past tense forms of modals "could", "can", and "be able to". The examples show converting direct statements into indirect reported speech by backshifting the tense of the verbs to past tense or past perfect tense. For example, direct speech "I am having a party next week" becomes reported speech "Frank said he was having a party next week". The document aims to help understand how to change direct speech into indirect reported speech using different modals.
