PREGUNTA
REPORTED SPEECH
1
When do we use reported speech? Sometimes someone says a sentence, for example "I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later,
Parcialmente
correcta maybe we want to tell someone else what the first person said. Let's see the video to clarify this better:
Puntúa 35,00 sobre
50,00 Reported Speech
So, this is how it works:

We use a 'reporting verb' like 'say' or 'tell'. If this verb is in the present tense, it's easy. We just put 'she says' and then the
sentence:
Direct speech: I like ice cream .
Reported speech: She says (that) she likes ice cream.
We don't need to change the tense, though probably we do need to change the 'person' from 'I' to 'she', for example. We also may
need to change words like 'my' and 'your'.
(As I'm sure you know, often, we can choose if we want to use 'that' or not in English. I've put it in brackets () to show that it's
optional. It's exactly the same if you use 'that' or if you don't use 'that'.)
But, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the tenses in the reported speech:
Direct speech: I like ice cream .
Reported speech: She said (that) she liked ice cream.
Here is a chart that might help you to understand the changes that must be done in order to create sentences using the reported
speech. Remember you can use either "say" or "tell" to form the reported speech:
Tense Direct Speech Reported Speech

She said (that) she liked ice
present simple I like ice cream
cream.
She said (that) she was living in
London.
present continuous I am living in London
She told me that she was living in
London.
She said (that) she had bought a

past simple I bought a car car OR She said (that) she bought
a car.

pref_5_Grammar 3.5 could swim

mother
might* "I might be late" She said (that) she might be late
She said (that) she must study at
must "I must study at the weekend" the weekend OR She said she had
to study at the weekend
LET'S PRACTICE:
CHANGE THE DIRECT SPEECH INTO REPORTED SPEECH.

Use 'she said' at the beginning of each answer. It's the same day, so you don't need to change the time expressions. Please be
careful with spelling and do NOT use contractions. Don't forget to use punctuation in your answer as well as capital letter.
For example: "He works in a bank": She said that he worked in a bank.
"We went out last night": She said that they had gone out last night.
"I'm coming": She said that she was coming.
"I was waiting for the bus when he arrived": She said that he had been waiting for the bus when he arrived.
"I didn't go to the party": She said that she had not gone to the party.
"I can help you tomorrow": She said that she can help you tomorrow.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION TO CHANGE THE SENTENCES INTO THE

REPORTED SPEECH:
"Lucy will come later": She said that Lucy would come later
"I don't like chocolate": David told me that he didn't like chocolate
"I visited my parents". She said that she had visited her parents
"He could read when he was three". He said that he could read when he was three
"I was sleeping when Julie called". She said that she had been sleeping when Julie called .

PREGUNTA
TAG QUESTIONS

Tag questions are similar to negative questions, since they are used when someone thinks she / he knows the answer and wants

confirmation. The form of tag questions is quite different from the form of negative questions, however.
Puntúa 25,00 sobre
25,00 There are two main types of tag questions--one for affirmative statements and one for negative statements. Both consist of the
statement (affirmative or negative), plus a short ending (the "tag") and a question mark.
