REPORTED SPEACH
Reported Statements
-
Sometimes someone says a sentence, for example "I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later, maybe we want to tell someone else what the first person said.
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:
EXAMPLES
- Direct speech: I like ice cream.
- Reported speech: She says (that) she likes ice cream.
-
-
Occasionally
we don't need to change the present tense into the past if the information in direct speech is still true
- Direct speech: The sky is blue.
- Reported speech: She said (that) the sky is/was blue.
