Grammar rules to give information about what people say or think

Sugerencia de uso

1. Show the web page to read aloud the grammar rules to give information about what people say or think.

2. On the board, write two column headings and label them, Direct (Quoted) Speech and Indirect (Reported) Speech. Leave enough room to write sentences under each heading.

3. Ask the students some simple questions:

• What sport do you practice?

• Where do you live?

• What did you do last weekend?

3. Write the answers under the direct speech column like this:

• Mario said, “I play soccer”.

• “I live two blocks from school”, Regina said.

• “I saw a movie on Saturday”, Isabel said.

4. Explain that we put quotation marks because in quoted speech we use the exact words that the students said. That is the reason we also call it quoted speech.

5. Complete the Indirect Speech column by converting the sentences like:

• Mario said that he plays soccer.

• Regina said she lives two blocks from the school.

• Isabel said that she saw a movie last Saturday.

6. Indicate that, in this case, we are reporting what the classmates said, so we can call this a Reported Speech.
