Reported speech - time change
How do you change yesterday to the day before? Or why would you do that rather?
For example in this case:
She said: 'I saw your brother yesterday.'
(And on the same day, I'm reporting this to my mum):
She said she had seen my brother yesterday/ the day before...
For example in this case:
She said: 'I saw your brother yesterday.'
(And on the same day, I'm reporting this to my mum):
She said she had seen my brother yesterday/ the day before...
