INTRODUCTION

Hello my name is Wendy Perez

This day we will convert sentences focused on market research, from direct speech to report
speech.

But first I will comment that it is a Reported speech.

Is used to express what other people have said. It is often called indirect speech. If we report speech
what another person has said, we usually do not use the speaker’s exact words. There fore, you
need to learn how to transform direct speech into reported speech. The structure is a little different
depending on whether you want to transform a statement, question, and request or commands

Indirect style is the way you can tell, explain, write, or say something in your own words, changing
verb tense to the past.

We will start with:
