Объяснение:
в косвенной речи согласуются времена, а также меняются наречия и местоимения
Согласования времен: present simple ⇒ past simple
present continuous ⇒ past continuous
present perfect, past simple, past perfect ⇒ past perfect
present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, past continuous ⇒ past perfect continuous
future ⇒ future-in-the-past (will ⇒ would)
this ⇒ that
these ⇒ those
tomorrow ⇒ the next day
yesterday ⇒ the day before
и так далее
модальные глаголы, например, can, shall, will становятся соответственно could, should, would. Но если они изначально были в прошедшем времени, то мы их никак не меняем
