Direct speech and Indirect speech.

Hello! I want to know what tense should be used when changing direct speech (in future tense) to indirect speech? For example,
He said, 'I will be in Paris on Monday'

How about direct speech that is in future continuous tense?
e.g ' I will be using the car myself on the 24th.' she said

and those direct speech doing with modal verbs?
e.g I said, 'I would/should like to see it'

Thanks a lot!

g I said, 'I would/should like to see it' this will remain almost same : I said that I would/ should like to see her

  • g I said, 'I would/should like to see it' this will remain almost same : I said that I would/ should like to see her
