It's not just the verbs that change! You also have to update pronouns and "time/place" words so they make sense from your current perspective. Pronouns: "I" becomes "he" or "she." Time: "Today" becomes that day; "Yesterday" becomes the day before. Place: "Here" becomes there; "This" becomes that. Example: Direct: "I will meet you here tomorrow." Reported: He said he would meet me there the next day.
