    The document outlines the changes needed to convert direct speech to indirect speech, such as changing present tenses to past tenses and words like "here" and "now" to "there" and "then". For example, present tense becomes past tense, "here" becomes "there", and "today" becomes "that day". It provides examples of how the tense, time, and place references are altered for both single clauses and progressive/perfect constructions.
