do you mean if the first person is changed to third? Yes. There are other changes as well but you would need examples.... Sophia |

Of course, as Sophia
said, you need examples, but in general, 3rd persons do not change
and first and second do. So, �she said: �I won�t go� becomes �she said she wouldn�t go� but �she said: �she
won�t go� still is �she said she wouldn�t
go�. If you know because of the context that the �I� is still �I�, say for
example, the listener did not hear properly or you want to remind somebody of
something you said, you could still use �I�: � I said I wouldn�t go�. In sentences with no context change is
usually expected.
Best wishes
