 Reported Speech

At the end of this lesson I will: 

- know the difference between direct and reported (indirect) Speech. 

- know which types of words I need to change when rewriting from direct to indirect speech

- have practised rewriting from direct to indirect speech together with the teacher and the rest of the class. 

We gebruiken reported speech om op een later tijdstip te herhalen wat wij zelf hebben gezegd, of wat iemand anders heeft gezegd. 

Direct speech:
"We are trying to pay attention!"

Indirect speech: 
They said (that) they were trying to pay attention. 

Kijk op de volgende slide goed naar de twee zinnen (direct en indirect) en wat er in een andere kleur is geschreven. 

Probeer alvast de volgende vragen te beantwoorden voor jezelf: 

- Wat gebeurt er met de werkwoordstijd als je herschrijft van directe naar indirecte rede?

- Wat gebeurt er met persoonlijke voornaamwoorden (I, you, us, them) en bezittelijke voornaamwoorden (his, her, our) als je herschrijft van directe naar indirecte rede?

- wat gebeurt er met bijwoorden van plaats en tijd als je herschrijft van directe naar indirecte rede?
