Regarding ex 1: The proper grammatical form is to backshift the tense - "Sarah said that she drank..." although if this is a current habit, you can say "Sarah said that she drinks..." However, in this particular instance, we only have the sentence without the context, so we don't know when the sentence was spoken. What if Sarah said it two months ago and then gave up coffee? Her original words would still be "I drink black coffee every morning." But, we would only be correct in reporting, "Sarah said (two months ago) that she drank black coffee every morning." Remember that if you are unsure, just backshift the tense.
The exception is if the sentence contains a reference to a future time that has still not arrived. Ex: My friend Raj told me this morning, "I'm getting married next month." If I had to report this to another friend today, I would say, _Raj told me this morning that he's getting married next month._ Notice that _this morning_ and _next month_ stay the same because I'm reporting the sentence on the same day in the same month.
Can you please upload videos about writing? It would be appreciated.
Thank you.

@LearnEnglishClass, you are really optimizing the learning experience with this comment and also when you point out, during your video, further details like, the exception for the verb "to promise", and rules like "My brother and I -> She and her brother", etc.
Thank you so much Sir!
How to write calligraphy uplode on video I don't know to write because I'm reading in class 7
firstly thank you very much sharing us such preious explanations
I ask you a lot to explane reported speech in passive voice sentences(I dont find anywhere material about this topic)
Yes I had the same doubt
You are my grammar teacher during this pandemic situation .I have been learning lots of grammar lesson by watching all your videos.I profusely thank you million. God bless you

Really helpful .

I really appreciate the time and effort taken by Sie Ganesh in preparing this informative Video. Thank you Sir. Keep it up! It helped me a lot.
This video helped me a lot during my exams and I got 6 correct in the final quiz.
Hello
I just would like to say!
You are the King of the TENSES 🙏🍀
Dear sir I am a school student from Sri Lanka .I have learned reported speech from many teachers but I couldn't understand it properly but this video gave me exactly what I wanted.Thank you a lot for this great favor.
Glad to hear you found the lesson helpful.
I had been struggling with this topic for a long time now but after coming across this video, I would like to think that now I have a pretty decent command over this topic solely because of your explanations and everything. So thank you so much my Sir.
I had a query regarding example no. 6 and it would be really helpful if you could give your insights regarding that. The direct speech in question no 6 was - The kid told his parents, ''I was watching TV and the power went out.'' and The Indirect speech of the given problem I had come up with was - The kid complained to his parents that the power had gone out when he had been watching tv.
It would be really helpful if you could tell me whether I am wrong here or not. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance Sir : ).
Hi Andrea, your sentence is not only correct, you've also made very good use of the reporting verb "complain." In everyday speech, though, people tend not to use too many instances of difficult tenses like the past perfect continuous. So, instead, you might hear a native speaker just say, The kid said to his parents that the power went out when he was watching TV. Strictly speaking, this is grammatically incorrect, but it gets the message across.
Hello sir! I can't stop myself from appreciating you. You explains everything so effectively.
Sir, I have always been confused about usage of IF & IN CASE.
Tense to be used with IN CASE cofuses even more. Sometimes only present tense is suggested and sometimes present and past tense, both.
Plz take pains to explain it, sir.
I hope my confusion is going to end here with your magical explanation.
Thank you.
1 The teacher said to the boys,” I shall prove now that the earth moves around the sun.”
2. He said to me, “ May God bless you!”
3. “Did you eat spicy food john?, asked Jeeny
Sir could you give me answers to these questions?
@Babu Shah you forgot to do backshifting in the 2nd example.. God might bless me would be the correct answer.
Very nice explanation sir 😊 you are the one who teaches a lots of content within less time 😃
I got 7/10 in the quiz

I got all 10 right! Thank you sir! Your lessons are really helpful :)

I'm learning English step by step because of you i have imagined that i can learn English but it's happening only because of you sir thankyou so much .How good you are in communication skills....how should I answer for this sir.....
