2 Read the Learn this! box. Then find examples of the rules in exercise 1.

LEARN THIS! Changes in reported speech

1 After reporting verbs in the past, the verbs of the original speech move back in time

'I'll call later. → She said she'd call later.'

2 After reporting verbs in the present, future or present perfect, the tense is usually the same as the original because the time reference is the same.

'Jo's passed her exams. → He says Jo's passed her exams.'

3 Modal verbs are usually unchanged after past reporting verbs.

'I might get a new bike. → He said he might get a new bike.'

4 We make changes to personal and possessive pronouns, determiners like this / that, and expressions when the time reference has changed.

'Til lend you this DVD tomorrow. She said she'd lend me the DVD the next day.'

4 Rewrite the sentences, changing the direct speech to reported speech. Use the reporting verb in brackets. (Each speaker is/was talking to you.)

1 Lee: 'I'm scared of heights.' (tells)

2 Simon: 'You should always tell the truth. (said)

3 Alison: 'I've never believed in ghosts.' (says)

4 Pete: 'I'll be watching TV this evening.' (has said)

5 May: 'You might see me at the concert.' (told)

6 Jim: 'I won't be late tomorrow. (says)

LEARN THIS! Reported questions

1 Tense changes for reported questions are the same as for reported speech. The word order is the same as for statements. We don't use auxiliary verbs.

'Do you like reggae?'

→She asked me if I liked reggae.

'What time does the concert start?'

→ She asked me what time the concert started.

2 We use if or whether to report yes/no questions.

'Was the bus late?' → He asked me if the bus had been late.

3 We don't include question tags in reported questions.

'Pat's coming isn't he?' → He asked me if Pat was coming.

4 To report short answers, we use the auxiliary or modal from the short answer.

'Do you speak French?' 'I don't.' → She asked me if I spoke French and I said I didn't.

→ Grammar Builder 7.2 page 128

5 Read the Learn this! box and rewrite each sentence using the word in brackets.

1 'What time will the café open tomorrow?' he asked us. (next day)

2 'Shall I call you a taxi?' Pam asked me. (whether)

3 'Don't believe anything Jim says, Fran told us. (not)

4 'We must get to the airport on time,' I told her. (that)

5 'Who did you see at the club last night?' Tony asked me. (before)

6 SPEAKING Work in pairs. Tell your partner about an occasion when somebody asked you a lot of information about your post on social media. (Invent one if necessary.) Include reported speech and reported questions in your account.

 

3 Read what Daisy said to Eva. Rewrite the paragraph, changing the direct speech to reported speech.

I have read the comments on your brother's photos. Besides three negative comments, most of the comments were encouraging enough. I guess your brother is too sensitive. I agree that we should not rely too much on other people's attitude on social media, but your mum was right when she asked you to give him more support.

Daisy told Eva that she had read the comments on her brother's photos. She said that....
