Les verbes introducteurs du discours indirect sont au prétérit = attention : il faut respecter la concordance des temps :

Le verbe est au présent Be + V-ing, il faut le mettre au prétérit Be + V-ing au discours indirect

Le verbe est au préterit, il faut le mettre au past perfect au discours indirect
