Quote: I'm not sure whether this applies to 'recently', but 'not long before' might be an OK replacement term I also thought that there are only phrase-like forms of them, but I haven't met anything like them... |

Most of the time-adverbs have a form in reported speech (for the past, of course), e.g. 'today' - 'that day', 'tomorrow' - 'the next day', 'last week' - 'a week before', etc. ... My question is for example: what is this sentence in reported speech: "I've seen him several times lately/recently." He said that he had seen him several times ******????? |

[*edit*] But IMHO recently is not among the adverbs that you'd have to change in indirect speech. [*edit*]
