 In English, we often have a need to quote people. We can do so through what's called direct speech. Written form, it would look like, Corey said, we're moving house next week. I've used quotes, and I've quoted him directly, the words that he used. However, there's another way we can quote people, and it's through reported speech. We don't quote their exact words, we simply let people know what's been said. Again, this is reported speech, and that's what we'll be looking at in this unit. The resulting reported speech would be, Corey said that they were moving house the following week. Now, there's a very good chance this doesn't match up with what you had. This is because in spoken English, we don't often follow the official rules for what we call switchback with reported speech. We have to switch back A, the tense, because we're reporting what something was said in the past. So, again, we backshift the tense from we are moving, which is the present continuous. We have to put that into the past continuous, so now R becomes were. Again, present continuous to past continuous. Because we're talking about different people, we also have to change the subject of the sentence here. We, because Corey said it and he's included himself, however, we're reporting what he said, so I have to change we to they. Then we have to change our time expression. Next week needs to change to something that would indicate next week, because there's a very good chance that next week is an entirely different week at the time that we're reporting what Corey said.
