This is something that often comes up in class.
"I said (that) I would (do...)"
It is a very useful phrase to remember for talking about the past. It is usually used to talk about past plans you had which didn't happen in the end.
"I said (that) I would meet her at the station but she didn't show up"
"I said (that) I wanted to be a pilot but I failed the exams"
It is used often when talking about others' promises to you which were broken...
"My wife said (that) she would buy me a new coat for my birthday but she didn't"
Please try to make your own sentences with the phrase and try to use it in conversation
Thanks

Is this correct?
"I said the class would start on Monday but it was holiday."
Hi !!
It is very close...should be -
"I said the class would start on Monday but it was a holiday"
or maybe...
"I was told the class would start on Monday but it was a holiday"
Thanks for the comment...#1
