Reported speech- Ingles

Se utiliza para expresar lo que otra persona dijo, pero no con las mismas palabras. En el caso de las preguntas, no se utilizan los signos de interrogación, los auxiliares, ni se mantiene la estructura de la pregunta.

RECORDATORIO IMPORTANTE: siempre se debe ir un tiempo verbal hacia atrás.
