I just started watching these randomly out of pure interest in how other people learn English, and honestly, I never realised how difficult it is! It's really such a complicated language, well done to everyone learning it!
Hello Lucy... Thank you for this lesson. It's been only a month since I started following you to improve my English..and I must say it has improved a lot. Thanks to you!!😊
Ikr, at the time (around 6 months ago) was when our exams were going on, and English was next. Somehow, Lucy managed to dish out this vid with perfect timing
Love Tr.Lucy!I'm English major but i never learn English in any English- speaking countries. Now I'm teaching elementary school kids English in a cram school. As English isn't my mother tongue language, sometimes I can't pronounce or explain grammar correctly. Watching your channel is very helpful for me. Btw, I like your style of talking. Natural and elegant.
Very very useful lesson... Grammar is always essential.. I owe you for the great efforts and selfless service you render... Great teacher.. Great accent... I imitate you a lot... Thanks for helping me to be a better teacher day by day...
Lucy thank you very much for this lesson. I haven't watched it yet ,but I'm sure it's going to be a great lesson. Thank you for being our teacher ! We love you 💕💕💕💕👏👏👏
Excellent video as usual, Lucy! Even though I’m a native English speaker, I learnt a lot. I’d be interested in the topic of prefixes to names, such as Mr., Miss, Master, and Madam; and also familial prefixes, such as aunt, uncle, and cousin. When do these come up? In which contexts would one use these? Why do some people call a person Madam Smith, whilst others call her Ms. Smith? Why do some people call their older cousin Uncle Bob, whilst others call him Cousin Bob, and still others simply call him Bob? Do the rules of prefixes differ by geographical region (UK vs. US?), or by historical time period? Would love for you to consider making a video on this subject.
The best professor in teaching and simplifying English grammar. Thank you very much, my dear. Thanks to you, I got out of the spiral of questioning. ❤❤❤😊
Many thanks Lucy - very well explained 😀 I think there is a small error in your video at 6:47: you present the backshift from past simple to past perfect but the writing next to you says present simple instead of past simple.
@Ziad Ehab It depends. If there were three people including friend X, then it could mean she refers to the friend X. In this case, she talks directly to the friend X(Lucy->Friend X) and I simply use the reporting message like "Lucy said she would call you(=friend X) later."
Hello Lucy! Shouldn't we also change the time indicators in the reported speech (next year -> the following year, yesterday -> the previous day, etc.)? I was taught it was mandatory.
I would say you should change it if the original time indicator would no longer be correct relative to the present time. E.g., somebody tells you "I went to London yesterday", if you're talking about it on the same day, you can still say "she said she went to London yesterday". But if you talk about it on a later day, you'd say "she told me she went to London the day before" (or something that avoids relative times altogether, like "she told me she went to London on the 15th") I'm a native speaker but I'm not a language teacher
It was really a great learning for me. Some information was missing in my mind. Now it is clear to me. Thank you Lucy Sister. I wanna more class about this kind of topics.
Hello Lucy again! I really fancy seeing you in the new year! ❤❤❤ And of course, a huge thanks for your educational lesson, it's important to be able to use a reported speech in real life!
Hi, Lucy, 🌺 I like your videos, I like the way you explain everything and I love your pronunciation. Can you please make a video and talk about what resolution is, why is important, what we can do to stick with it etc, and generally some tips! For example, if we need to give a presentation and talk about the resolution or if we have to write an essay, and I was wondering if you could give us some good ideas. I know you can, like always 😁 Thank you, Ada
If the reporting verb in present tense then there will be no changes in the tense Example: She says,"I love chocolates" to She says that she loves chocolates.
Very good lesson! I have never heard of the term reported speech. I can see the concept, but never knew there was a name for it. 0:54 - “… instantaneously…”. Although this word is perfectly legitimate, I see people using it much more often instead of “… instantly…” . Likewise, I hear “as well” at the end of sentences much more than “also”. E.G., “ We say that as well.” Has anyone else noticed this? I’m glad that she mentioned the word “that” does not necessarily need to be used. Sometimes people use it twice in a row, and you can see that one is sufficient, and in my following example, you need it at least once. For example “ I know that that is the way we do it..” I think in some of her sentences where she uses the word, she could have removed it there also.
Dear Lucy, I’ve come across an additional aspect regarding reported speech which you haven’t mentioned (or I have simply ignored it - if that’s the case: my apologies). This aspect revolves around the usage of bring/take and come/go. In my grammar files it says that the verbs “bring” and “come” change into “take” and “go” in reported speech. However, some native speakers told me that this was wrong. Being aware of the fact that native speakers who haven’t studied languages often claim a lot, I wanted to ask you as a professional what you think about it. Thanks in advance for your competent advise which is much appreciated!
You don't know Lucy how much i get happy when your video's notification come ! I really get exited to learn something new from you, thankyou My lovely Madam Lucy💜
Dear Lucy I get confused on the existence of future tense in English Grammar and I conducted a research in it.finaly I found four reasonable facts that disproves the existence of future tense In English Grammar.what do you think about my findings?
Reported speech: Present simple becomes Past Simple. Present continuos becomes Past continuos. Present perfect: Past perfect. Past simple becomes: Past perfect: Future (Will) becomes: Would. One exception is when the information is current and ongoing like a habit: I love my parents. Lucy said that she loves her parents.
Hey Lucy 🙋 i'm your new subscriber from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.This video is very helpful and important for me. I'm learning English correctly so i think that i should subscribe your channel 🎀🎀.
Hi Lucy! A spectacular lesson as always. I want to ask you for an explanation about why English speakers use reported speech instead of quoting? My students asked me if when we quote the message is clear and grammatically correct, then why then do we use reported speech? I believe that the answer would be that grammar gods decided long ago to make it the common way to report direct speech, but I wonder if there is another answer to that. send you good vibes from Australia.

This was great Lucy, thank you! One question: what if the reporting verb is in present? What happens with the rest of the sentence then? Thanks!
I know ma'am
If the reporting verb in present tense then there will be no changes in the tense
Example:
She says,"I love chocolates" to
She says that she loves chocolates.
Thanks for this helpful vedio..
After dear sir I found this channel 🤩

Your pronunciation is fab
I really liked this class, I didn't understand anything at first, but now I understand everything. Thank you very much😊
Just to let you know - I think that there is an error at 5:33. The board says present simple when it should be past simple. Thanks for the video :)
Thanks for changing my view about reported speech!💙
Tomorrow is my exam lol
Mine too

Thank you so much for this useful lesson🌹. I wish you had talked about how to report questions
Dear Lucy I get confused on the existence of future tense in English Grammar and I conducted a research in it.finaly I found four reasonable facts that disproves the existence of future tense In English Grammar.what do you think about my findings?
Reported speech:
Present simple becomes Past Simple.
Present continuos becomes Past continuos.
Present perfect: Past perfect.
Past simple becomes: Past perfect:
Future (Will) becomes: Would.
One exception is when the information is current and ongoing like a habit: I love my parents. Lucy said that she loves her parents.

I really break my leg in this grammar. Thank a lot 😊
Thank you very much. I don't know English very well but I really understood your lesson on the topic. Bless you
Shouldn't the verbs such as "like" or "live" stay in the same tense if they represent general statements and not those at the time of speaking?
Yeah it's my doubt too
Your explain is very very aowsome Lucy thank you so much
