How to teach REPORTED SPEECH (just for declarative sentences):
There are three steps to change direct speech (or quote) into reported speech (or indirect speech):

2. BACKSHIFT the verb(s). This means make the verb more past. See our backshifting video for details:
3. Change the POINT-OF-VIEW words, such as personal pronouns, possessive determiners, demonstrative pronouns, demonstrative determiners, adverbs of time, and a couple adverbs of place.
