Reported speech in different tenses

We've already looked at changing the present simple to the past simple in reported speech.
 

• Direct speech: I live in London.
• Reported speech: She said that she lived in London.

We also usually backshift the other tenses.

Present continuous

• Direct speech: I am going to work.
• Reported speech: She said that she was going to work.

Present perfect simple

• Direct speech: I have seen Lucy.
• Reported speech: She said that she had seen Lucy.

Past simple (this one is an exception)

• Direct speech: I met James.
• Reported speech: She said that she had met James OR she said that she met James.

Let's review!

1. James is coming to the meeting.

Julie said that ________________________________________________________________

2. I have had lunch.

Julie said that ________________________________________________________________

3. We are going home.
