Observaţie:

Atunci când verbul din propoziţia principală (She said, he asked etc.) este la un timp trecut, atunci se schimbă şi timpurile verbale din propoziţia sau propoziţiile secundare, ordonându-se cronologic.

Astfel,

1. Present Tense devine Past Tense:

She said: "I am sure you are ok." >> She said that she was sure I was ok.

2. Past Tense devine Past Perfect:

She said: "I was sure you were ok." >> She said that she had been sure I had been ok.

3. Future devine Conditional Present:

She said: "I will look for you" >> She said that she would look for me.

Există mai multe reguli, dar în termeni generali ideea de bază explicată mai sus trebuie avută în vedere.
