To convert direct speech to reported speech, we must change all the present tenses in the direct speech to the corresponding past tenses in the reported speech and to report questions and commands use a reporting verb like request, order, tell, advise, beseech, threaten, beg, implore, ask, propose and forbid. Note that all of these verbs except propose must be followed by an object. Commands and requests are usually reported using a to-infinitive. That-clauses can also be used.

In reported speech we need to use the past tense form of the verb. In direct speech the present tense is used. As you can see, in the above sentence 'am' changes to 'was' when we use reported speech.

The authorial voice is best defined as __________.
lys-0071 [83]
<span>In this question, the authorial voice is best described as the voice used by the voice used by authors when seeming to speak for themselves. The historical author is the one writing the text and his or her opinions may or may not be in the text itself; the "author," meanwhile, is the one who the reader perceives to be behind the narration. The fictional narrator is separate from the author and often has a different personality or point of view altogether. </span>
