Indirect Speech Indirect Speech (also known as Reported Speech) refers to a sentence reporting what someone has said. It is almost always used in spoken English. If the reporting verb (i.e. said) is in the past, the reported clause will be in a past form usually one step back into the past from the original.

Examples of Indirect Speech She said her job was interesting. She said she went to the library each day. Our new colleague said he spoke French every day. If simple present, present perfect or the future is used in the reporting verb (i.e. says) the tense is retained. For example: She says that her job is interesting. She says that she goes to the library each day. Our new colleague will say that he speaks French every day. If reporting a general truth the present tense will be retained or even the future tensed can be used. For example: She said that her country is very beautiful. They said that trust is vital for any business. My wife said that she will always love me no matter what. Say it again

Passive Voice The passive voice is less usual than the active voice. The active voice is the "normal" voice. But sometimes we need the passive voice.

Construction of the Passive Voice The structure of the passive voice is very simple: subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (past participle) The main verb is always in its past participle form. Examples of Passive Voice

Use of the Passive Voice We use the passive when: we want to make the active object more important we do not know the active subject Examples of use of passive voice

by Note that we always use by to introduce the passive object Example: Fish are eaten by cats. Look at this sentence: He was killed with a gun. Normally we use by to introduce the passive object. But the gun is not the active subject. The gun did not kill him. He was killed by somebody with a gun. In the active voice, it would be: Somebody killed him with a gun. The gun is the instrument. Somebody is the "agent" or "doer".

Conjugation for the Passive Voice We can form the passive in any tense. In fact, conjugation of verbs in the passive tense is rather easy, as the main verb is always in past participle form and the auxiliary verb is always be. To form the required tense, we conjugate the auxiliary verb. So, for example: present simple: It is made present continuous: It is being made present perfect: It has been made Examples
