rules of speech

[danny134]

Hello
I want to know where can I find in the website "Englishpage" rules about speech in the past.For example:"John will go tommorow school" but in past we don't say 'tommorow' but "Gerry said John would go school the next day",
so I want the rules about reported speech and direct speech in the past.Can you address me that please?Thank you very much indeed :P
