3th class before the end

Hello, guys, how are you?

At this class, we learned plenty of things. But, before that, Teacher has corrected some exercises from the Work Book.

Well, the current chapter (5) is about Natural Disasters. We started with the grammar in lesson 1 that teachs us how to do indirect speechs. The affirmatives are easier, but the negative ones brought me some difficulty because it's unusual. In English, many times you have to change word's order that it's normal to us. Like that:

If you wanna pass this to the indirect speech: Daddy said, "Do your homework!".

It would be like this: Daddy said to do my homework.

or

Daddy said, "Don't go outside"! -> Daddy said not to go outside.

Teacher also told us how to use this terms when we are supposed to change a sentence to indirect speech:

here -> there;
this -> that;
these -> those;
now -> that time, imediately;
tomorrow -> next day, the day after;
yesterday -> previous day, the day before;

It's better to know that frequently we must to modify the verb. For instance,  if we have the following sentence:

They said, "The painting is terrific!". -> They said that the painting was terrific.

or

Norah said, "The show had some problems!". -> Norah said that the show had had some problems.

So, when the verb is in present it changes to the past; and, when the verb is in past, it becomes past perfect.

She said something about "deitics" but I didn't understand to write about it. If someone can help me, it would be great!
