Согласование времён
said that he was…
При пересказе время сдвигается на шаг назад:
| Прямая речь | Косвенная | Пример |
|---|---|---|
| Present Simple | Past Simple | "I work" → he said he worked |
| Present Continuous | Past Continuous | "I am working" → he said he was working |
| Past Simple | Past Perfect | "I saw" → he said he had seen |
| will | would | "I will come" → he said he would come |
| can | could | "I can help" → he said he could help |
Слова времени тоже меняются: today → that day, tomorrow → the next day, yesterday → the day before.
