INVERSION 
If you begin a sentence with one of the following, the normal word 
order changes - the verb comes first followed by the subject: 
never, seldom, scarcely ..... when, no sooner ..... than, 
nowhere, in no circumstances, on no account, only then, not 
only 
Seldom
has one century seen so many changes.

Indirect speech or «Say it again» 
Indirect Speech (also known as Reported Speech) refers to a 
sentence reporting what someone has said. It is almost always used 
in spoken English. 
If the reporting verb (i.e. 
said
) is in the past, the reported clause will 
be in a past form. This form is usually one step back into the past 
from the original. 
For example: 

She said her job 
was
interesting.

She said she 
went
to the library each day.

Our new colleague said he 
spoke
French every day.
If simple present, present perfect or the future is used in the 
reporting verb (i.e. 
says
) the tense is retained. For example: 

She says that her job 
is
interesting. 

She says that she 
goes
to the library each day. 

Our new colleague will say that he 
speaks
French every day.
If reporting a general truth the present tense will be retained or even 
the future tensed can be used. For example: 

She said that her country 
is
very beautiful. 

They said that trust 
is
vital for any business.

My wife said that she 
will
always 
love
me no matter what.
Now read the following story and find the indirect speech expressions 
in 
italics
