REPORTED SPEECH

GRAMMAR

Reported speech is when you tell somebody else what you or a person said before.

Distinction must be made between direct speech and reported speech.

Direct speech vs Reported speech:

Direct speech Reported speech


She says: "I like tuna fish." She says that she likes tuna fish.
She said: "I'm visiting Paris next She said that she was visiting Paris the
weekend" following weekend.

Different types of sentences

When you use reported speech, you either report:

 statements
 questions
 requests / commands
 other types

A. Reporting Statements

When transforming statements, check whether you have to change:

 pronouns
 tense
 place and time expression

1- Pronouns

In reported speech, you often have to change the pronoun depending on who says what.

Example:

She says, “My dad likes roast chicken.” – She says that her dad likes roast chicken.

2- Tenses

 If the sentence starts in the present, there is no backshift of tenses in reported


speech.
 If the sentence starts in the past, there is often backshift of tenses in reported
speech.


Direct speech Reported speech

(no backshift) “I write poems.” He says that he writes poems.


(backshift) “I write poems.” He said that he wrote poems.

No backshift

Do not change the tense if the introductory clause is in a present tense (e. g. He says).
Note, however, that you might have to change the form of the present tense verb (3rd
person singular).

Example:
He says, “I write poems.” – He says that he writes English.

Backshift

You must change the tense if the introductory clause is in a past tense (e. g. He said).

Example:
He said, “I am happy.” – He said that he was happy.

Examples of the main changes in tense:

Direct Speech Reported Speech

EMBEDDED QUESTIONS: NOUN CLAUSES

GRAMMAR
Embedded or included questions are used in two main situations: when we ask for
information indirectly or when we report questions. This is common in more passive, or
softer English (“Do you know…”), for reported speech (“She told me where…”) or to
discuss a question without directly asking it (“I don’t know why…”). Embedded
questions are noun phrases, so they use regular word order. The following article will
explain when and how to use them, and is followed by some exercises.
Embedded questions are always formed using a noun clause. This means it must use
noun clause word order, subject + verb, not the usual question form. The embedded
question (noun clause) is the object of a verb.
Example
“I know what his name is.” The embedded question is what his name is, a noun clause
that is the object of know.
For information questions, using question words (when, what, where, why, whose,
which, how), the noun clause should begin with the question word.
Example
“Do you know when the taxi will arrive?”
If the question asks for a yes/no response, the noun clause should begin with “if” or
“whether”.
Example
“Do you know if the taxi is coming?”
For questions formed with the verb to do, remove the verb to do from the embedded
question.
Example
“What do you want?” would become “He asked what I wanted.”
In questions the verb of the question is usually in a bare infinitive form; when it is part
of a noun phrase it should agree with the noun, with the correct tense.
Example, we might ask “What did he say?”, but as an embedded question say “I don’t
know what he said.”
