При переводе прямой речи в косвенную в английском языке происходит довольно много изменений в зависимости от того, в каким времени использован глагол главного предложения, а также от того, какой коммуникативный тип предложения (утвердительное, вопросительное, повелительное) был использован в прямой речи.

В тех случаях, когда в прямой речи использовано утвердительное предложение, а в главное предложение стоит в прошедшем времени, необходимо применять правило согласования времён.

Сравним:

Прямая речь	Косвенная речь
“The weather is good.” “Погода хорошая.”	He said that the weather was good. Он сказал, что погода хорошая.
“I am working in my father’s office,” she said.	She said she was working in her father’s office.
“Classes started last week,” the director explained.	The director explained that classes had started the week before.
“I have lived in the country all my life,” the old man told me.	The old man told me (that) he had lived in the country all his life.
“I’ll cook supper,” she said.	She said she would cook supper.
“You must change the verb form,” the teacher explained.	The teacher explained that we had to change the verb form.
“I can count up to one hundred,” said Mary.	Mary said she could count up to one hundred.

Правило согласования времён не используется в косвенной речи, когда:

А) высказывание в прямой речи содержит информацию, которая не изменяется, остаётся истинной:

“The sun rises in the east,” the teacher explained.

The teacher told us that the sun rises in the east.

Б) когда в прямой речи использованы следующие модальные глаголы:

would, could, might, ought to, should:

“You ought to tell him what you think of him,” she said.

She said I ought to tell him what I think of him.

“I might not be able to stay for long,” she said.

She said she might not be able to stay for long.

При переводе прямой речи в косвенную, нужно помнить об изменении обстоятельств времени и некоторых местоимений и наречий:

Вместо this употребляется that

these -“ “- those

here -“ “- there

now -“ “- then

today -“ “- that day

yesterday -“ “- the day before, the previous day

last week -“ “- the week before

tomorrow -“ “- the next day, the day after,

the following day

ago -“ “- before

last year -“ “- the previous year

next year -“ “- the following year

Помимо глаголов say и tell косвенная речь может вводиться следующими глаголами:

add - добавить

admit - признавать

advise - советовать

agree - согласиться

answer - ответить

assert – утверждать, заявлять

boast - хвастаться
