    1. We often use these verbs to show the reported statement:
    Said / (told + object)
    2. we can sometimes use (that) after the reporting verbs: she said that / she told me that
    3. The tenses in direct speech change while changed to Reported speech as following:
    Present simple > past simple - Present continuous > past continuous
    Past simple > Past perfect - Present perfect > past perfect
    Is/am/are going to > was/were - Can > could - Will > would
    *Also: this/these > that/those - here > there - now > then
    Today > that day - tomorrow > the day after
    Ex. “I want to go to the concert.” Emily told me
    She said that she wanted to go to the concert.
