2. Direct Speech • Direct speech is used when we quote exactly what someone else has said. Quotation marks are used. • This is also called (quoted speech). • Here are some examples: • He said, “I might teach English overseas one day.” • Sarah said, “I want pasta for lunch.” • Kristen asked, “Would you like to come shopping with me?”

3. Practicing Direct Speech

4. Indirect Speech • Also known as reported speech • We do not use the exact words spoken by the speaker when we use indirect speech. We use our own words to get the idea across. • There are many changes that are made to a sentence to change direct speech into indirect speech.

6. Tense Changes Direct Speech • If the reporting verb is used in past tense, the changes will only occur in the quoted text. • Simple Present: • She said, “It’s freezing.” • She said, “I am hungry.” • The simple present tenses inside the quotations will change to the simple past tense. • Simple Past: • She said it was freezing. • She said that she was hungry. Indirect Speech

7. More Tense Changes Direct Speech • If the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, we do not change the verb tense. • Present: • “I’m wide awake,”she says every morning. • Future: • I will tell her, “The restaurant is closed.” • We do not change the tense of the verbs in Indirect Speech on these occasions. • Present: • Every morning she says (that) she is wide awake. • Future: • I will tell her that the restaurant is closed. Indirect Speech

8. Examples!!! • Direct Speech: Kaitlin said, “I want to go home.” Indirect Speech: Kaitlin said that she wanted to go home. • Direct Speech: Ben said, “I am tired.” Indirect Speech: Ben said that he was tired. • Direct Speech: She says, “I am not eating.” Indirect Speech: She says that she is not eating.
