REPORTED SPEECH

TENSE CHANGES IN REPORTED SPEECH  When we report what someone else said, we are usually reporting at a later time so we change the tenses used by the original speaker  These verbs do not change when they are reported at a later time: could, would, should, might, ought to and used to, and verbs in the past perfect.  When we report must, we can use either must or had to in the reported speech but had to is more common.

TENSE CHANGES IN REPORTED SPEECH We use must, not had to, when we report:  a negative:  Paul : 'You mustn't tell Sally our secret.'  Paul said we mustn't tell Sally our secret.  or a deduction:  Sarah: 'Jim must be tired after the flight.'  Sarah said Jim must be tired after the flight.

TENSE CHANGES IN REPORTED SPEECH DIRECT SPEECHREPORTED SPEECH Present simple Present continuous Past simple Present perfect Past perfect Am going to Will Can May Might Must Past simple Past continuous Past perfect Was going to Would Could might Had to

REPORTING IN THE SAME TENSE  If the reporting verb (eg. says) is in the present tense, we use the same tenses as the original speaker:  Amy: 'I've missed the bus so I'll be a bit late.’  Amy says she's missed tile bus so she'll be a bit late.  If the reporting verb (e.g. said) is in the past, we sometimes use the same tenses as the original speaker if the situation is still true:  Robert: 'I have three sisters.  Robert said he has three sisters. or Robert said he had three sisters.

VERBS USED FOR REPORTING  We often use say to report what somebody said:  He said (that) he was going to win.  If there is an object (a noun or a pronoun), say must be followed by to :  He said to me (that) he was going to win. (not He said me...)

VERBS USED FOR REPORTING  When we use tell to report what someone said, it is always followed by an object without to:  He told them (that) he was going to win. (not He told to them... Or He told that...)

VERBS USED FOR REPORTING  We often use other reporting verbs instead of say and tell.  Some are nearly always followed by that and usually have no object:  He answered that..., He replied that...  Some behave like tell:  He reminded me (that)..., He persuaded me (that)..., He informed me (that)...  Some are nearly always followed by that and sometimes have an object: He agreed (with me) that..., He explained (to me) that..., He mentioned (to me) that...

REPORTING OFFERS, ADVICE AND PROMISES  After some: reporting verbs the to + infinitive is usually used:  'I'll be a good leader.’ He promised to be a good leader.  'You should vote for me.’ He advised us to vote for him.  'We could help you. They offered to help me.  The infinitive is sometimes used after tell and ask:  'Be careful’. I told him to be careful.  'Please don't smoke.’ I asked her not to smoke.

REPORTING QUESTIONS  Questions are reported using the word order of a statement rather than a question.  Questions with question words (who, what, etc) keep these words when they are reported:  Rachel asked James how he felt. (Not Rachel asked James how did he feel)

REPORTING QUESTIONS  Yes/ no questions are reported with if or whether:  'Can you hear me?’  Rachel asked James if/whether he could hear her.

REPORTING QUESTIONS  We use the same structure when we ask politely for information:  Can you tell me what time the next train leaves.  I’d like to know if there is a train to Manchester tomorrow.

REFERENCES TO TIME, PLACE …  Unless we are speaking on the same day, we have to change references to time when we report what someone said:  YesterdayThe day before  TodayThat day  TomorrowThe next/following day  NowThen

REFERENCES TO TIME, PLACE …  Other changes include:  HereThere  ThisThat  I saw him here yesterday.  She explained that she had seen him the day before.
