Непряма мова: say чи tell і зсув часів

Переказуємо чужі слова: said або told me, далі (that) і речення, у якому час зсувається на крок у минуле.

Приклади — з тексту юніта «The Wrong Colour»

Say чи tell
sayбез «кому»

She said that it would arrive on Thursday.Вона сказала, що він надійде в четвер.

Якщо треба «кому» — лише з to: said to me.

Час можна лишити, якщо це правда й зараз.
