What is reported speech?

Reported speech is speech that is reported indirectly, that is, without the use of quotation marks. The word 'that', or similar, is either explicitly stated, or implied, after the word 'said' or its equivalent.For example:'My son's teacher said that his homework had deteriorated since he joined the football team.' (Reported, or indirect, speech.)'My son's teacher said "Your son's homework has deteriorated since he joined the football team."' (Direct speech.)'Jane told me she would go with me to the dentist.' (Reported, or indirect, speech.)'Jane said to me "I will go with you to the dentist."' (Direct speech.)Note that verbs are put further into the past in reported speech. What is perfect in direct speech ('has') becomes pluperfect in reported speech ('had'). What is future in direct speech ('will') becomes 'future in the past' in reported speech ('would').Reported speech is something that was said by one person, and is now being repeated (or summarised) by another person.For example:"Tommy said, 'I don't like broccoli'," said Jo.Here, the phrase "I don't like broccoli" is reported speech - Jo is telling us that Tommy said it."Tommy said he didn't like broccoli," said Jo."he didn't like broccoli" is also reported speech - Jo is giving us a summary of what Tomy said.
