define now a Direct speech?

Very Good!

Please read the definition. Direct speech is usually placed inside quotation
Yes, _____. marks and accompanied by a reporting verb.

In Direct speech, what a person says appears

within quotation marks and should be word
for word. Yes ma’am!

Have you seen it in the example? Police officer Jimmy Sarael said that he, his wife,
and their children embraced each other until the

Okay, what have you observed now? use quotations.
Yes, _____.

Very Good!

What do we call that form of speech? Ma’am it is called indirect speech.

Yes, _____.
Very Good!

In Indirect speech, we don’t use quotation

marks to enclose what the person said and it
doesn’t have to be word for word.

There are rules when changing the tense of

verb when converting a direct speech into
indirect speech.

Direct speech: Present simple

She said, "It is cold."

Try to convert it class. Indirect speech: Past simple

She said it was cold.
(the teacher will convert it through paper
strips)

D.S: Present continuous

She said, "I'm teaching English online."

(the student will be the one to convert it in I.S: Past continuous

front) She said she was teaching English online.

D.S: Present perfect simple I.S: Past perfect simple

She said, "I've been on the web since 1999." She said she had been on the web since 1999.

D.S: Present perfect continuous

She said, "I've been teaching English for I.S: Past perfect continuous
seven years." She said she had been teaching English for seven
years.
D.S: Past simple
She said, "I taught online yesterday." I.S: Past perfect
I.S: Past perfect continuous She said she had taught online yesterday.
She said she had been teaching earlier.

Try to convert an indirect speech into a direct

speech. D.S: Past continuous
She said, "I was teaching earlier."
D.S: Past perfect
She said, "The lesson had already started
when he arrived."
I.S: Past perfect
NO CHANGE - She said the lesson had
already started when he arrived.
D.S: Past perfect continuous
She said, "I'd already been teaching for five
minutes."
I.S: Past perfect continuous
NO CHANGE - She said she'd already been
teaching for five minutes.

Modal verb forms also sometimes change:

Direct speech: will

She said, "I'll teach English online
tomorrow."
Indirect speech: would
She said she would teach English online
tomorrow.

Try to convert the following:

D.I: can
She said, "I can teach English online."
I.S: could
D.S: must She said she could teach English online.
She said, "I must have a computer to teach
English online."
