A backshift is a changing of a tense of a verb from present to past in reported speech.
Backshift refers to the grammatical change that occurs when reporting speech or thoughts in the past. In English, it typically involves changing tense, pronouns, and adverbs to reflect that the reported speech or thoughts occurred in the past. For example, "I am tired" becomes "She said she was tired" when backshifted.
