Reported speech with a past reporting verb shifts tenses backward (concordancia de tiempos): present → imperfect (« Es falso » → « Dijo que era falso »); preterite/perfect → pluperfect (« Lo publiqué » → « Dijo que lo había publicado »); future → conditional (« Lo corregiré » → « Dijo que lo corregiría »). Commands and verbs of advising trigger the imperfect subjunctive: « Contrasta las fuentes » → « Aconsejó que contrastáramos las fuentes ». Adjust deixis too: « hoy » → « ese día », « aquí » → « allí ».
