Косвенная речь – это способ передать слова человека. При этом вы не воспроизводите его речь дословно, а лишь пересказываете ее.
John: “I want to eat”. – прямая речь.
John said he wanted to eat. – Косвенная речь.
При переводе прямой речи в косвенную в английском, мы получаем сложное предложение:
John said … – главное предложение, которое стоит в форме Past Simple.
… he wanted to eat. – придаточное предложение
