- Präsens zu Präteritum: Wenn der Originalsatz im Präsens steht, ändere ihn im indirekten Stil ins Präteritum. Zum Beispiel wird aus "Sie sagt, 'Ich esse Äpfel'" im indirekten Stil "Sie sagte, sie aß Äpfel."
- For example, "She says, 'I eat apples'" becomes "She said she ate apples."
- Präsens-Kontinuierlich zu Präteritum-Kontinuierlich: Wenn der Originalsatz im Präsens-Kontinuierlich steht, ändere ihn im indirekten Stil ins Präteritum-Kontinuierlich. Zum Beispiel wird aus "Er sagt, 'Ich gehe spazieren'" im indirekten Stil "Er sagte, er ging spazieren."
- For example, "He says, 'I am walking'" becomes "He said he was walking."
- For example, "He says, 'I am walking'" becomes "He said he was walking."
- Perfect to Past Perfect (Plusquamperfekt): If the original sentence is in the Perfect tense, change it to the Pluperfect in reported speech. For example, "Sie sagt, 'Ich habe das Buch gelesen'" (She says, 'I have read the book') becomes "Sie sagte, sie hatte das Buch gelesen" (She said she had read the book).
- Future I to Conditional (würde + Infinitiv): If the original sentence is in Future I tense, it is often expressed with "würde" plus the infinitive in reported speech. For example, "Er sagt, 'Ich werde morgen kommen'" (He says, 'I will come tomorrow') becomes "Er sagte, er würde morgen kommen" (He said he would come tomorrow).
- Present Conditional Remains Present Conditional: If the original sentence is in the Present Conditional tense, it often remains in the Present Conditional in reported speech. For example, "Sie sagt, 'Ich würde helfen, wenn ich könnte'" (She says, 'I would help if I could') remains "Sie sagte, sie würde helfen, wenn sie könnte" (She said she would help if she could).
