How does a declarative sentence change when used for direct and indirect speech?

For direct speech, the declarative sentence does not have to change. It is simply enclosed in quotation marks and the quoted sentence is used as the object of the verb say. The person and tense of the quoted verb and its pronouns, if any, remain the same as in the original declarative sentence.For indirect speech, the declarative sentence becomes a subordinate noun clause used as the object of an independent clause using the verb sayor an equivalent word like said, shouted, exclaimed, etc.In this case, the declarative sentence changes in two important ways:1. The person and tense of the verb must be adjusted, based on the person and tense of the sayword to preserve the original intended meaning.2. If the subject is in the first person (I or We), must be adjusted to agree in person with the subject of the sayword. Other pronouns in the declarative sentence may have to be adjusted as well to preserve the original meaning.Examples should make it all clear:1. Declarative sentence: I want to go.Direct Speech: Jack says, "I want to go." orJack said, "I want to go."Indirect speech: Jack says (that) he wants to go. orJack said (that) he wanted to go.Direct Speech: You say, "I want to go." orYou said, "I want to go."Indirect speech: You say (that) you want to go. orYou said (that) you wanted to go."2. Declarative sentence: I wanted to go, but I have changed my mind.Direct Speech: Jack said, "I wanted to go, but I have changed my mind."Indirect Speech: Jack said (that) he had wanted to go, but he changed his mind.(The adjustment of verb tenses can sometimes be subtle and influenced by context that appears in other sentences or by the author of the indirect speech.)3. Declarative sentence: You never paid me.Direct Speech: Jack says, "You never paid me."Indirect Speech: Jack says I never paid him. orJack says you never paid him.Notice that the conversion to indirect speech must be done carefully to preserve the original meaning. In this case, it depends on who Jack was talking to. If Jack had said, " I told you not to pay him", it gets even more fun trying to convert into indirect speech.
