  3. HOW TO USE REPORTED SPEECH WHEN WE USE REPORTED SPEECH, WE ARE USUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE PAST. THEREFORE, VERBS USUALLY changetothe PAST tense . IN REPORT SPEECH.

  4. am / is becomes was are becomes were have / has becomes had couldcouldn’t becomes can / can’t would wouldn’t will / won’t becomes

  5. Reported speech typically uses the following structure: 1.- Someone said (that) … Sentence, past 2.- Someone told me (that) … Sentence, past However, in English, you can NEVER say Someone said me . . .

  6. pancho said, “I’m not happy at my job anymore. I think I’ll quit. Now you want to tell someone else what Sandra said. In this situation, it’s natural to use reported speech:You can say: Sandra told me that she happy at her job anymore and she shequit. wasn't thought would

  7. Example: Tim said: When a person told you something in the past tense, you can use either the past tenseor the pastperfectafter the “said” phrase. “I worked really hard today.” Tim said that he worked really hard today. past tense Tim said that he had worked really hard today. past perfect tense

  8. However, it’s much easier to just put everything in the simple past tense when using reported speech, so . . . You will hear native speakers use both the past and past perfect in this situation;
