1 Quoted Speech and Reported Speech

2 Quoted SpeechQuoted Speech Sometimes we want to quote a speaker's words to write a speaker’s exact words. Exact quotations are used in many kinds of writing, such as newspaper articles, stories and novels, and academic papers. When we quote a speaker’s words, we use quotation marks.

3 Speaker: Speaker’s exact words -Jane: Cats are fun to watch. -Mike: Yes, I agree. They’re graceful and playful. Do you own a cat? How about Quoting the speaker’s words???

4 Quoting the Speaker’s Words: (a)Jane said, “Cats are fun to watch.” (b) Mike said, “Yes, I agree. They’re graceful and playful. Do you own a cat?”

5 How to Write Quotations: 1- Put a comma after said.* Jane said, 2- Put quotation marksJane Said, “ 3- Capitalize the first word of the quotation. Jane said, “C 4- Write the quotation. Put a final period. Jane said, “cats are fun to watch. 5- Put quotation marks after the period. Jane said, “cats are fun to watch.”

6 Reported Speech: refers to reproducing the idea of another person’s words. Not al of the exact words are used: Verb forms and pronouns may change. Quoted Speech: Ann said, “I am hungry.” Ann said that she was hungry. Tom Said, “I need my pen.” Tom said he needed his pen.

7 Using SAY vs. TELL Say is followed immediately by a noun clause. Ann said that she was hungry. Tell is NOT followed immediately by a noun clause. Tell is followed immediately by a (pro) noun object clause (e.g. me, us, John, someone) and then by a noun clause. Ann told me that she was hungry Ann told John that she was hungry.

8 Using Ask “IF” Ask, not say or tell, is used to report yes/no questions. (a)Sam said to me, “Are you hungry?” Sam Asked me if/whether I was hungry. In addition to ask, yes/no questions can be reported by using want to know, wonder, and inquire. Sam wanted to know/ inquired/wondered whether or not I was hungry.

9 WH-Questions-related change If a WH-Question is being asked then use the WH to introduce the noun clause and then change the question into statement. Ann said to him, “where did you go?” Ann asked him where he had gone.
