Reported speech, Indirect questionsWe use reported speech when we are saying what other people say, think or believe.
When we are reporting things in the present, future or present perfect we don't change the tense.
When we tell people what someone has said in the past, we generally make the tense 'more in the past'.
However, when we are reporting something that was said in the past but is still true, it is not obligatory to make the tense 'more in the past'. The choice is up to the speaker. For example: "The train doesn't stop here."
"I like Sarah."
When we are reporting what was said, we sometimes have to change other words in the sentence. We have to change the pronoun if we are reporting what someone else said. Compare these two sentences. In each case the person actually said "I don't want to go."
We have to change words referring to 'here and now' if we are reporting what was said in a different place or time.
Now compare these two sentences.
6. Conditionals: Zero, First, Second, Third Zero conditional When we talk about things that are generally or always true, we can use: If/When/Unless plus a present form PLUS present simple or imperative
Note that we are not talking about a specific event but something which is generally true. In the condition clause, we can use a variety of present forms. In the result clause, there can only be the present simple or imperative.
Notice that 'unless' means the same as 'if not'.
