Grammar and usageStep 1: General Introduction: Direct speech and reported speech For referenceDirect and Indirect Speech also known as Quoted and Reported Speech. We use direct speech to report what exactly has been said. If we write the speech down, the words will usually appear in quotation marks. However, we often prefer to use reported speech or indirect speech to report the meaning of what has been said without using the exact words. Now lets look at a sentence:She said,I have been writing a book on the history of China.If you want to tell this sentence to someone else, what will you report? We can change it into: She said she had been writing a book on the history of China. 1. In the section, we will learn the definitions of direct speech and reported speech, how to use direct speech to report what exactly has been said, and to use reported speech or indirect speech to report the meaning of what has been said without using the exact words. For example:T: What did you do last Sunday, S1?S1: I stayed at home and watched TV.T: What did S1 say, S2?S2: S1 said he/she stayed at home and watched TV.T: What did you do last Sunday, S3?S3: I didWhat is the difference between each pair of the sentences? (The first answer uses direct speech to report what exactly has been said. The words appear in quotation marks when they are written down. The second answer uses reported speech to report the meaning of what has been said without using the exact words, and without quotation marks.2. Now lets look at the following tables, paying attention to the changes of tenses and some other forms. Rules of changes:a. Change direct speech sentence into reported sentence by changing what has been said to an object clause or an infinitive phrase.b. Change personal pronounsc. Change tensesd.

Besides say, ask and tell, there are other reporting verbs: accept, argue, believe, claim, decide, expect, feel, imagine, learn, mention, point out, suppose, think, understand, and wonder.2. We use noun clauses introduced by if/whether to report yes/no questions, and we use noun clauses introduced by wh-words to wh-questions.3. Well, but how can we report imperative sentences? We use the structure: reporting verb + object +(not) + to-infinitive. Eg:The teacher said, You d better wear soft shoes.
