4-4. Другие изменения при преобразовании прямой речи

(1) местоимение

'Jack, you've passed your exam.' → I told Jack he'd passed his exam.

(2) слова, относящиеся к месту и времени

BILL (on Saturday evening): I don't like this party. I want to go home now.
PETER (on Sunday morning): Bill said that he didn't like the party, and he
wanted to go home.

В примере в косвенной речи уже нет слов this и now:

Bill said that he didn't like the party ... (не Bill said that he didn't like this party ... )
... he wanted to go home. (не ... to go home now)

'Your parcel arrived yesterday, Mary.' → I told Mary her parcel had arrived the day before.
'Mr X will be back tomorrow.' → They told me Mr X would be back the next (or the following) day.
I'll telephone today/ this evening → He said he'd telephone that day/evening
It happened two hours/days/weeks ago. → They told me it (had) happened two hours/days/weeks before.

DIRECT: I'll be back next week.
INDIRECT: She said she'd be back the next week, but I never saw her again.

DIRECT: Ann got her licence last Tuesday.
INDIRECT: He said Ann had got her licence the Tuesday before.

DIRECT: I had an accident yesterday.
INDIRECT: He said he'd had an accident the day before.

DIRECT: We'll be there tomorrow.
INDIRECT: They promised to be there the next day.

Но в ряде случаев изменять обстоятельство времени не нужно:

They told me Mr X will be back tomorrow (если все происходит в один день).
