(3)II Direct speech and Indirect (reported) speech
Convert the direct speech to indirect speech.
1 “I’m hungry,” said Ben
2 “What’s the time?” asked Tina
3 “I am not happy,” shouted the furious teacher
Direct Speech:
uses speech marks
uses punctuation (comma, full-stop, question mark, or exclamation mark) before the second speech mark
uses the speaker’s actual words
new speaker, new line
Reported Speech:
doesn’t use speech marks
changes pronouns, and often also changes word order
changes verb tenses (and time phrases if necessary)
usually starts by telling you who spoke
often uses“that…” –but you can omit it
Sometimes other words need to be changed or added, so that the sentence makes sense Direct speechis when you write the actual words that a person has spoken
We show this by putting speech marks (“ ”) around the spoken words Example: “We have contact!” said Buzz Aldrin
Indirect speech (or reported speech) is when you write about (or report) what a person has said, without using the actual words spoken, so you don’t need speech marks
