Reported speech

9.3 and 9.4

Reported Speech

We use reported speech to report what someone has said. (You don´t use the exact words they said).

Direct speech -> reported speech

¨We live in Portugal.¨ -> He said they lived in Portugal.

How to form reported speech

When you change direct speech into reported speech, you change the tense one step back to be further in the past.

¨I am trying to sleep.¨ (present continuous)

She said she was trying to sleep. (past continuous)

Say that you wanted to tell someone about this comic. Use the rules for reported speech to talk about what they say.

For example: He said Alex looked damaged.

Write one of the sentences you made to report what was said in the comic.
