Yes, there are two exceptions or special cases in terms of narration in grammar. These are:

  • When a universal truth is stated, the tense remains the same in direct as well as indirect narration. 

For example:

She said, "The water boils at 100 degree celcius."

  • The tense does not change whent he reporting verb is in the present or future tense.
