4. Unchanged tenses
1. When the reporting verb is present, future, or present perfect, the tenses
used are usually the same as those in the speaker’s original words.
‘I shall be there in time.’ He says he will be there in time.
‘I visited three countries.’ She will ask you if you visited three countries.
‘I don’t want to do it.’ He has already said that he doesn’t want to
do it.’

2. But sometimes, even after past reporting verbs, the tenses can remain un
changed:
a) If the statement is still up to date when we report it, then we have a
choice. We often leave the tense the same, but we can change it:
She told me that she is (or was) only 25.
Tom told me that his father owns (or owned) a shop.
b) In sentences like these, we prefer present tenses if we feel that we are
reporting facts; we prefer past tenses if we are not sure that they are true.
She said she was only 25. (I am not sure of this fact.)
That’s why, in news reports the tense is usually changes because some
people may think the statement is untrue.
The Prime Minister said that the givernment had made the right
decision.
c) If the statement is out of date, then we change the tense in reported
speech:
She told me that she was 25 last year.
d) In theory the past tense changes to the past perfect, but in spoken
English it is often left unchanged, provided this doesn’t cause confusion.
He said, ‘I loved her’ must become He said he had loved her as
otherwise there would be a change of meaning. But He said, ‘The show
was splendid’ could be reported He said that the show was/had been
splendid.
e) The past continuous tense in theory changes to the past perfect
continuous but in practice usually remains unchanged.
She said, ‘When I saw him he was talking to a man.
She said that when she saw him he was talking to a man.
The exception is when it refers to a completed action:
She said, ‘We were planning to move to a new flat
but then decided not to.
She said that they had been planning to move to a new flat but
had decided not to.
f) In written English past tenses usually do change to past perfect but there
are certain exceptions:
