    Rephrasing - Reported Speech

    Uploaded by

    Daiana Leguizamòn
    The document contains a grammar exercise where students must rewrite sentences from direct to reported speech using verbs provided in brackets. The answers are provided in reported speech format over three sentences with the original direct quote, the reporting clause, and the reported quote. For example, one summary is "Alan suggested to Mary that they phone and have dinner the next day. Mrs. Jones told the children they must finish their homework before watching TV." This provides the high-level context and converts the examples to the requested reported speech format in 3 sentences or less.
