Это довольно сложная тема.

Смотри, при преобразование прямой речи в косвенную, прямая речь преобразуется в время.

То есть, Present Simple (настоящее простое)→ на простое):

Present Continuous→Past Continuous

Past simple→Past Perfect

Present Perfect→Past Perfect

Past Perfect→Past Perfect

Past Continuous→ Past Perfect Continuous

(Future Simpe)Will→Would(Future -in-the past)

Can→Could

May/Might→Might

Should→Should

Must/have to→Must or had to

Ought to→Ought to

Present Perfect Continuous→Past Perfect Continuous

Например: ''I love you''- Nastya said ---- She said that she loved me( Prasent Simple на Past Simple)

Впереди всегда ставится To be( she, he,they,we...) said/told/ask

Told используется когда к кому-то обращаются. Например: She told me/us/them/her/him that she had called the day before.

Ask используется в вопросительных предложениях. Например: He ask,'' Did you study?'' преобразуется в He asked me if  I had studyed.

При преобразовании вопроса в косвенную речь He/she/they asked me if ( формула) добавляется I had studyed( не как вопрос did you study?, мы должны преобразовать этот вопрос в утвердительное предложение, то есть did you study? ---- I studyed и уже его изменить на косвенное предложение I studyed( Past Simple) --- I had studyed( Past Perfect)

Не обязательно ставить везде that, так просто проще для понимания

Так же есть слова которые тоже изменяются и их нужно заучить,запомнить
