When reporting speech with say, it is common to shift verbs back one tense. In many cases, this backshift is optional and does not affect the meaning.** Please use the same verb tense as the direct speech throughout this lesson.***
say を用いた間接話法を使うとき、一般的に時制は、direct speech (直接話法)の時制の一つ前の時制(例:直接話法で現在形なら、間接話法では過去形)になります。多くの場合、時制の変化は任意であり、意味に違いはありません。このレッスンでは、間接話法の場合も direct speech (直接話法)と同じ時制を使いましょう。
**backshifting verbs will be covered in a future Grammar lesson
**時制の変化に関する詳しい内容は今後の文法教材で扱う予定です***all reported speech in this lesson is correct even without backshifting
***このレッスン内で扱われる間接話法の文はすべて、直接話法の時制から変化させる必要がありませんDIRECT SPEECH | REPORTED SPEECH | |

![]() | “Daisy lives in London.” | Jill said Daisy lives in London. |
![]() | “Cleopatra lived in Alexandria.” | Kyle said that Cleopatra lived in Alexandria. |
