  6. Reported speech If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the speaker’s exact words (direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech.

  7. Quoted Speech reports a person’s exact words.The doctor said, “Get some rest.”He said, “Don’t get up.”

  8. Reported Speech reports what someone has said but not the exact words. With reported commands, use say or tell + an infinitive. Notice how say and tell are used differently. An object pronoun is used with tell.The doctor said to get some rest.He told me not to get up.

  9. Say or tell? • Say can refer to any type of speech. • “Good night,” she said. • She said she was unhappy. • Jim said to meet him here. • Say is never followed directly by a person as an object: you must use ‘say something to someone’ for this. • She said goodbye to me at the station. • She said me goodbye at the station.

  10. Say or tell? • Tell is used to report that someone has given information or an order, the verb tell is always followed by the person that the information or order is given to. • Simon told them all to stay inside the house. • Oscar told the boys a wonderful story about a giant. • Oscar told to the boys a wonderful story about a giant.
