Reported Speech What is it? How do you use it? Yesterday, I saw my friend Pamela! She told me that she got a promotion!

Reported Speech is the grammar we use when we want to tell another person about a conversation that took place in the past. We often use reported speech to Give someone a telephone message: Example: Example: Ellen said she couldn’t come today because… 2. Tell someone news that we heard from someone else: Example: Example: Tom told me that he and Karen got engaged! 3. To report something that happened: Example: Example: Sam said that the other driver wasn’t paying attention and hit his car.

How to use reported speech: When we use reported speech, we are usually talking about the past. Therefore, verbs usually change to the past tense in reported speech.

am / is become was are becomes were have / has become had can / can’t become could couldn’t will / won’t become would wouldn’t

Reported speech typically uses the following structure: Someone said (that) … Sentence, past OR Someone told me (that) … Sentence,past However, in English, you can NEVER say Someone said me...

Examples of reporting what someone said... I talked to Sandra yesterday. She was telling me about her job. Her job is quite stressful. Sandra said: “I’m not happy at my job anymore. I think I’ll quit.”

Sandra said, “I’m not happy at my job anymore. I think I’ll quit. reported speech: Now you want to tell someone else what Sandra said. In this situation, it’s natural to use reported speech: You can say: Sandra told me that she happy at her job anymore and she she quit.

When a person told you something in the past tense, you can use either the past tense or the past perfect after the “said” phrase. Example : Tim said: “I worked really hard today.” past tense past perfect tense

You will hear native speakers use both the past and past perfect in this situation; However, it’s much easier to just put everything in the simple past tense when using reported speech, so...

Examples for practice: 1. Shawn said: “I don’t feel like going to the movies tonight.” Reported speech: Shawn said that he didn’t feel like going to the movies tonight. 2. Tina said: “My sister is coming to visit me soon.” Reported speech: Tina told me that her sister was coming to visit her soon.

... And more examples: 3. The counselor said: “I’ll always be available for your students.” Reported speech: The counselor said that she would always be available for my students. 4. The students said: “We want to do oral presentations in class so we can practice speaking more. Reported speech: The students told me that they wanted to do oral presentations so they could practice speaking more.

NOW BEFORE Do you understand reported speech better NOW than you did BEFORE? Keep practicing!!! And please... ask if you need assistance! Congratulations!
