Es ist nicht notwendig die present tense in die past tense umzuändern, wenn die Aussage der direkten Rede noch immer zutreffen oder es sich um eine allgemeine Aussage handelt.

Änderung der Pronomen

Wenn in der direkten Rede ein Pronomen steht, muss man dieses verändern, falls es sich auf eine Person im Einleitungssatz bezieht.

Beispiele:

Susan said (that) her parents were clever scientists.

Tom said, "I like PE best."

Tom said (that) he liked PE best.
