    The document compares direct and reported speech for different tenses in English. It shows how the tense changes when direct speech is converted to reported or indirect speech. For example, present simple "I'm about 100 kilometres from Australia" becomes past simple "He said (that) he was about 100 kilometres from Australia" in reported speech. Other examples show how the tense shifts for present continuous, past simple, present perfect, past perfect, future with "going to", future with "will", ability with "can", possibility with "may", uncertainty with "might", and obligation with "must".
