Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Converting a Latin statement into Indirect Discourse

Basically you have three kinds of statements if you categorize them by temporal reference:

Statements refer to the present: ego hoc facio = "I am doing this"

Statements refer to the past: ego hoc feci. = "I did this." AND ego hoc faciebam. = "I was doing this." AND ego hoc feceram. = "I had done this." All refer in different ways to the past.

Statements refer to the future: ego hoc faciam. = "I will do this."

Heres the rule: Always convert the time of the Main Verb to the Same Time of the infinitive. Always make the subject into the Accusative Case.

Present: ego hoc facio becomes dicit / dixit / dicet me hoc facere

Past: ego hoc feci. AND ego hoc faciebam. AND ego hoc feceram becomes dicit / dixit / dicet me hoc fecisse.

Future: ego hoc faciam. becomes dicit / dixit / dicet me hoc factur
