Reported speech takes two forms:

1. A main clause with a verb of speaking/asking + a subordinate clause:

main clause subordinate clause
They say that we will receive the confirmation next week.

2. A main clause with a verb of speaking/asking + an infinitive with to:

They asked us to send confirmation as soon as possible.

Indirect speech is derived from direct speech:

He said, "We have signed the contract.' (direct speech)

He said that they had signed the contract. (indirect speech)

 

The basic rule to determine the tense of the verb in the subordinate clause is as follows:

  present future present perfect    
  (no change)  
       
  Tense of verb of speaking in direct speech   Tense of verb of words spoken    
        present →past past →past or past perfect present perfect →past perfect will →would  
  past past perfect  
       
Direct speech Indirect speech
