Grammar: Reported speech (1)
Quando queremos dizer a alguém o que dissemos anteriormente, ou o que alguém nos disse anteriormente, usamos o discurso indireto. Se a ação no discurso direto está no presente, usamos said (that) e mudamos o verbo na oração principal para o passado.
‘You look a bit ill.’ (discurso direto)
I said (that) he looked a bit ill. (discurso indireto)
Se a ação no discurso direto está no present continuous, usamos o past continuous no discurso indireto.
‘I’m working quite hard at the moment.’ (discurso direto)
He said (that) he was working quite hard at the moment. (discurso indireto)

was getting on | needed | was arguing | looked | was working | was | hated
…Anyway, I bumped into Tom yesterday morning. Do you remember him from school? He didn’t look too good. I (1) ……… he ………… ill (not very diplomatic of me!). He (2) ……… he …………….……. hard and he (3) ……………. a holiday. I think he probably needs a very long holiday but of course, I didn’t say that to him! He also (4) ……………. that he …………….……. really well in his new job. I (5) ……… that I …………….my new job. He asked why, and I (6) ……… that I ……………. a lot with my boss. He (7) ……… he ……… sorry to hear that.
