About This Resource
This B1–B2 resource develops reported speech as a shift in viewpoint rather than a mechanical tense-changing exercise. It covers tense backshift, pronoun and reference changes, time expressions, and cases where maintaining the original tense can preserve the intended meaning.
What You’ll Learn
• Report statements from a new speaking or writing viewpoint.
• Apply tense backshift when it fits the reporting context.
• Adjust pronouns and time/place references accurately.
• Recognize when backshift is optional or unnecessary.
