Welcome to the English session.
HOW WOULD YOU EXPRESS THIS CONVERSATION?
WARM-UP ACTIVITY
DIRECT SPEECH
REPORTED SPEECH
To change the sentences from direct speech to indirect speech / reported speech
Objective:
WHAT IS REPORTED SPEECH AND WHEN DO WE USE IT?
is speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the actual words spoken. We use it when we want to tell another person about a conversation that took place in the past.
REPORTED SPEECH
+ when
You can use reported speech.
You can repeat that person’s words (direct speech).
When we want to tell someone what someone else said, there are two ways of doing so.
+ example
When we report a statement, we use reported verbs such as say, tell, explain, inform, answer, decide, etc. often followed by the word ‘that’.
Verb tenses, pronouns and some 'time' and 'place' words may change because the time, place and speaker may be different.
Quotation marks are not used in reported speech.
Please note that
Watch the video explaining the verb tense changes, and be prepared to answer the questions.
