При переходе из прямой речи в косвенную утверждение, как правило, становится придаточным предложением (с союзом that),которое в прошедшем времени подчиняется правилу согласования времен. При передаче чужого высказывания могут происходить и лексические изменения. Глагол say, например, заменяется глаголом tell, если указано лицо, к которому обращаются.
