414. Indirect Statements in English.  Direct statements are those which the speaker or writer makes himself or which are quoted in his exact language.  Indirect statements are those reported in a different form of words from that used by the speaker or writer.  Compare the following direct and indirect statements: 

{ 1.  The Gauls are brave
Direct statements { 2.  The Gauls were brave
{ 3.  The Gauls will be brave

Indirect statements { 1. He says that the Gauls are brave
after a verb in { 2. He says that the Gauls were brave
the present tense { 3. He says that the Gauls will be brave

Indirect statements { 1. He said that the Gauls were brave
after a verb in   { 2. He said that the Gauls had been brave
a past tense      { 3. He said that the Gauls would be brave

    a. The indirect statement forms a clause introduced by the
    conjunction that.

    b. The verb is finite (cf.  Sec. 173) and its subject is in the
    nominative.

c. The tenses of the verbs originally used are changed after the
