10 LANGUAGE FOCUS: INTRODUCTION TO REPORTED SPEECH In all of our newscasts this week, we heard people directly quoted exactly what they said word for word this is called direct speech. Reporters also told us indirectly what the speakers had said. This is called reported or indirect speech. See the example below: Notice that in reported speech, when talking about something already said, the reporting verb say becomes a past verb said, and the verb the speakers used have becomes the past verb had. That is often used after the reporting verb. LANGUAGE FOCUS: ACTIVITY 1 Instructions: Look at the table below to see how spoken verb tenses are changed in reported speech. Tense Direct Speech Reported Speech present simple France is at war. He said (that) France was at present continuous past simple past continuous present perfect past perfect* does not change Enerjet is offering its planes for free. Parisians came together. Enerjet was flying people to and from the oilfields before the layoffs. The government hasn t decided how to settle the refugees yet. Canada had taken in large groups of refugees from many countries until recently. war. He said (that) Enerjet was offering its planes for free. She said (that) Parisians had come together.

11 Modal Verbs will can Past Modals We will bring 25,000 refugees to Canada by the end of the year. We can help the government with the refugees. could should might would must When talking about something that is always said, for example: He said (that) they would bring 25,000 refugees to Canada by the end of the year. They said (that) they could help the government with the refugees. Do not change Does not change A stich in time saves nine. A stich in time saves nine. My mother always says that a stitch in time saves nine. Neither the reporting verb, nor the verb the speakers use is changed. LANGUAGE FOCUS: ACTIVITY 2 Instructions: Look at the reporting verbs in the table below, and follow the instructions in the table. REPORTING VERBS The most common reporting verbs are: Present Tense Put these reporting verbs in the past tense in the following Verbs sentences: SAY They they were not afraid. TELL someone He the parliament that France was at war. ASK someone to/ They if they could help to relocate the refugees. if/indirect question SAY TELL someone ASK someone to/ if/indirect question Look at these direct quotations / spoken sentences called direct speech. The unity in Paris is really strong. Life is slowly returning to normal. Are 25,000 refugees coming to Canada? Complete the reported-speech sentences with past reporting verbs and spoken verbs. They the unity in Paris really strong. He us that life slowly returning to normal. He if 25,000 refugees coming to Canada. 10
12 It is important to remember that SAY must be followed by what was said. You cannot use: say me/said him... On the other hand, you must use: TELL her/told me. You cannot use tell followed directly by information, or what was told. (The exception is: tell the truth or told a lie). Introduction to indirect questions Using ASK is more difficult. You might need more study and practice. When using ASK in reported speech, we can use: ask him to Or we can make an indirect question: When is she coming? becomes He asked when she was coming. Is she coming? becomes He asked if she was coming. Notice that the subject and verb is she in the question becomes she was in the reportedspeech question.
