Grammar: Learn to use REPORTED SPEECH in English
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- Reported speech and indirect speech mean the same thing: They allow you to express what someone has said. This sentence, "He said he was studying English", is an example of reported speech. But how do you conjugate the verbs? Is it "he said he was studying" or "he said he studied"? Both are correct depending on the situation. Learn how to say it correctly every time with Ronnie's quick and easy chart. Your friends said they watched this lesson. So what are you waiting for? www.engvid.com...
TRANSCRIPT
Hi. My name's Ronnie. I'm going to teach you some very, very simple reported speech things. If you don't know what reported speech is, welcome to the confusing word... World of confusing reported speech and words. Reported speech, maybe when you study it in your class, the teacher or whoever, will call it indirect speech. It's the same. So, indirect speech or reported speech is exactly the same. Yay. Why or how do we use reported speech? Good question. We use this to report or to write down what somebody has said.
If somebody has told you something, this is going to be a quote. A "quote" means you copy the person's words exactly. You have to be really careful not to change their words. Reported speech or indirect speech is usually only used for writing. So, we don't really have to worry about all of these crazy rules when we speak. Whew, thank god. So, we're just going to go through the past, the present, and the future. We're going to change quoted speech into reported speech. This little chart will help you. If you want to copy down this chart, take a picture of the chart, I guarantee it will make your reported speech grammar class or grammar learning amazing. Check it out.
So, in the present tense, we have two tenses, we have present simple or simple present and we have present continuous. As an example: "She eats lunch." is present simple. This is something she does every day. So if I wanted to report or write down this, write this down, I would use reported speech. So: "She eats lunch." My present simple, what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my verb "eats", and change it to past simple. So, present simple verb we're going to change to past simple. I would say: "She said she ate lunch." In this sentence, "eat" is present simple; in the reported speech, "ate" is my past simple. So, present simple changes to past simple in reported speech.
If I have a present continuous example, this means something the person is doing now... For example: "He is painting." So he's an artist, he's got a paint brush and some paint, and he's painting. We have to change this to past continuous. So, if we have "is painting", all we have to do to make this past continuous is change it to "was painting". Present continuous to past continuous, the only thing that changes is our "to be" verb changes from present to past. "He said he was painting."
Moving right along. Or moving back, back to the future. We have present perfect. An example of a present perfect sentence: "He", sorry. "They had a shower." It's about time; they smell a lot. So, if we wanted to report this or write this down, we would say... Oh, he said... He... Sorry: "They have had". This is strange, "have had". Check this out. Present perfect is going to change to past perfect. So: "They have had", if we change it to past perfect, we have to change it to "had had". Ronnie, "had had"? Is that true? Yes. This is right. So, present perfect, "have had", changes to "had" plus PP: "had had". So: "They said they had had a shower." And it's about time, because they're pretty smelly.
The next one: past simple. For example: "He took my photo." In this sentence, your verb is "took". This is a past. So, past simple, present perfect, both of these we have to change to, again, past perfect. So we're going to change this to: "They said he had taken my photo."
And the last one, past perfect, don't change it. It's cool. It's already done. Past perfect you have to change to past perfect, so you don't have to change the grammar in this sentence. -"They had had a dog." -"They said they had had"-that's crazy again, but it's true-"a dog." So, if you have a past sentence, present perfect, simple past, or past perfect, all of these are going to be changed to past perfect. That's easier. "Had" plus the past participle. You okay?
Moving on to the future. We have two future tenses in English. Future simple or simple future, which is going to be "will", and we have future "going to". Simple future: "She will go." Future "going to": "They are going to play football with their new shoes." Do you play football? Future simple: "She will go", all we're going to do is change the verb or the modal "will" to "would". So it's going to change to: "She would go". That's cool. "Will" changes to "would". That's easy.

Hi
Excellent Ronnie thank you again. By the way nice T-Shirt! hahaha
omg the best teacher 👩🏫ever ❤️🥴❤️❤️
I love Ronnie she's the Best vlogger teacher for me.watching from Philippines.❤️
She is just so good to breakdown complicated grammar topics.
very often we say "she says she eats lunch at 12" "he tells me to believe only him"etc, so simple present isn't always transferred into past.
That's because we can be dealing with up to date information.
If the information we have is old and no longer relevant we call it "out of date information".
If whatever we are reporting is still relevant we say it's "up to date" because the information is still useful.
It depends on the context. Because that is her routine and maybe you're reporting immediately after the she has told you this, you are going to report it in a way the information doesn't stay in the past, because it's still true.
Oriana Fortunato true, still should be mentioned on a podcast like this
Please, I have a question. Imagine the following situation. Mary said, "I love Mark". It's a present situation, she still loves him. Wouldn't be correct to say - in reported speech: - Mary said (that) she loves Mark - ? Because, if I say: Mary said (that) she loved Mark - It can mean that she loved him in the past, and she doesn't love him anymore. Does it make sense? Please, I am confused. Thank you. From Brazil.
Facts dont change!
Im the last watcher 😂😂 but i really have benifited from your video 🤗🤗 easy way and i understood all of ur words 😎😎 wlc from Egypt 🇪🇬🇪🇬

She's an amazing teacher. I would totally love to have her as my teacher.
Thank you for lesson, I had the question from the student if we have to "report" the "reported speech" should we make any changes? "She said that he had been said that "Mark's mom was busy that day" or Mark's mom had been busy that day" the Direct speech of the 3rd part is Mark: "My mom is busy now."
¡thanks you helped me too much!

We don't always change Present Tenses to Past Tenses in Reported Speech.
"She said she is having lunch" - means she is still having it.
It depends. Sometimes you may be reporting something that is no longer true although it was at the time of speaking. So we have to put time in context. If something is still true at the time of reporting then we dont make any changes however if it has changed then we report in past simple.
