The document provides an explanation and examples of reported speech. Mitchell and Webb introduce reported speech and show how to change sentences from direct to reported speech by modifying verb tenses and pronouns. They then test the reader by having them report sample sentences, and confirm the reader has understood by having them accurately report sample statements.
