Why practice Reported Statements exercises?
These Reported Statements exercises build your skills step by step. Start with simple present tense backshift (say → said, like → liked), then tackle past and perfect tenses, modal verbs (will → would, can → could), and time/place expressions (today → that day, here → there). You'll also learn when NOT to backshift — for general truths and still-true facts — before putting everything together in mixed practice with real-world contexts.
