CICLO 4
FUN WITH ENGLISH
Dear Teachers,
The present Activity Book was designed for Full Time Secondary Schools to work with in the
afternoon shift. When students arrive to our classrooms and have some gaps in their English background
to work with the NEPBE, this is the place to go, where students can get the necessary knowledge and
abilities, thus strengthening the students as they develop their competencies.
This Activity Book is a collection of challenging and fun activities its purpose is to give our
students the basic knowledge in English supporting the contents of the NEPBE: to do, to know, and to be,
giving it a ludic twist.
First of all, both English teachers working in the morning and afternoon shift have to meet, talk
and organize how to work with this activity book.
The morning teacher is working with the NEPBE and the afternoon teacher will be working with
the activity book. The morning teacher identifies the topics which the students lack and with the
afternoon teacher chooses which learning activities to use from the activity book. So both teachers work
hand in hand for the students to reach the achievements from the English program stated in the 592
Agreement.
What will you need in order to work with the Activity Book?
You will need to download the QR scanner app to your telephone, I Pod, or tablet:
Once you´ve downloaded the QR scanner, you will be able to scan the QR codes in the Activity Book.
We sincerely hope this Activity book will help you and your students in achieving the goals for
Basic Education.

don´t worry, it´s OK as long as you learn from it.
You will need to download the QR scanner app to your telephone, I Pod or tablet.
Once you´ve downloaded the QR scanner, you will be able to scan the QR codes in the Activity Book.
By paying attention to your teachers and doing your very best every day, you will learn many
new and fun things that help you become successful in school and life. Here are some activities you can
do to practice and review some basic contents. To max your mind:
• Do the activities. Set aside time every day to study and stick to it!
• If you do not understand something, ask your teacher. Do not be afraid to ask!

One exception to this rule when you make the names of people from ancient literature,
mythology, or the Bible possessive. If their names end with S you can add either ´s or just ´

Ordinal Numbers - 1st (first), 2nd (second) etc. (Used mainly for putting things in a sequence)
Cardinal Numbers
Cardinal numbers are normally used when you:
• count things: I have two brothers. There are thirty-one days in January.
• give your age: I am thirty-three years old. My sister is twenty-seven years old.
• give your telephone number: Our phone number is two-six-three, three-eight-four-
seven. (481-2240)
• give years: She was born in nineteen seventy-five (1975). America was discovered in
fourteen ninety-two
Notice how we divide the year into two parts. This is the form for year up to 1999. For the year
2000 and on, we say two thousand (2000), two thousand and one (2001), two thousand and two
(2002) etc.
Ordinal Numbers
You can normally create Ordinal numbers by adding -TH to the end of a Cardinal Number.
11 – eleven 22 – twenty-two
e.g. (127) one hundred and twenty-seven OR (127) a hundred and twenty-seven.
The same rule applies for one thousand (a thousand) and one million (a million)
Notice that you need to use a hyphen (-) when you write the numbers between 21 and 99.
With long numbers, we usually divide them into groups of three which are divided by a comma.
E.g. 5000000 (5 million) is normally written as 5,000,000

better?
A game intended to practice question words + Past Simple, but it can be used to practice
questions with present simple or any other verb tense.
Procedure:
a) The students should be divided in groups of 4 or 5 people. Each group gets a set of Wh-
question words (where, when, how, who, what). Place an easy-to-sit-on chair in front of the
board.
b) The teacher reads an answer; the groups send someone to sit on the chair carrying the right
question word. The student who sits there first has a chance to produce the whole question
and score 5 points. If the question is wrong, another group can give it a shot, but this time it
is worth 10 points.

XVII. GAME. ROWS AND COLUMNS.
Rows & Columns is a handy ESL classroom activity that can be played a number of different ways
depending on class numbers, your student's level of English and the type of questions you want
to ask.
It can be used to cover things learned in previous lessons, to reinforce key ideas or simply as a
fun time filler at the end of a class.
Have all the students stand up at their desks and find a student to answer the first question (or
alternatively ask for a volunteer). Ask the student a question, it can be true or false, multi choice
or anything related to what they’re currently learning.
If the student answers correctly they can choose either their row or column to sit down with
them, if they answer incorrectly nobody gets to sit down. Continue the game until everyone sits
down.
It’s always fun to see which of their friends the students will keep happy when choosing either
their row or column. You can control the game as you see fit by giving lower level students
plenty of chances and asking bright students more difficult questions.
To make things more challenging you can introduce a penalty system where a wrong answer
forces both the row and column of that student to stand up again. There are a lot of variations to
this activity so feel free to adapt it your students, classroom and teaching style.

SEQUENCING WORDS
One group of words that can help us demonstrate variety in our language are sequencing
words. You will recognize these as the words used to begin paragraphs in writing but they are also
very useful in giving presentations or speaking in meetings or other formal situations. Having
a selection of these at our fingertips helps us to keep our speaking and writing interesting and keep
the attention of our audience.

Once upon a time there was a brave knight called George. George had lots of adventures as he travelled
by horse across many lands. One day he came to a small village and met a man who lived in a cave next to the
village. The hermit told the knight about the awful things that were happening there. A terrible dragon had come to
live in the lake and attacked the village every day. The villagers didn’t know what to do. First, they gave the dragon
all their food, but the dragon just took the food and still attacked the village. So then the villagers gave the dragon
all the animals from their farms. The dragon took all the animals, but continued to attack the villagers. So then they
gave the dragon all their gold and jewels. The dragon took all their money, but still was not satisfied. The king sent
his army to try and capture the dragon, but the dragon was too strong and the knights of the army were too scared
and they ran away. With nothing left to give, the king could only think of one thing to help protect his people. He
sent his only daughter, the princess, to the lake to wait for the dragon. When George heard this he rode as fast as
he could to the lake. Just then the dragon jumped out from the lake and was going to eat the princess. George
attacked the dragon. He fought very bravely, won the fight and killed the dragon. George and the princess returned
to the village and everyone was very pleased that they would have no more problems with the dragon. Today, the
story of George’s bravery is remembered and George is known as the patron saint of many countries.

Once upon a time, there was a wicked QUEEN who asked her magic mirror, “Mirror, mirror, on
the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Each time this question was asked, the mirror would give the
same answer.” You, O queen, are the fairest of all.”
Then, one morning when the queen asked, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of
them all? She was shocked when it answered: “You, my Queen, are fair it is true, but Snow White is even
fairer than you”. After that, the queen grew so angry that she ordered the HUNTSMAN to take Snow
White into the forest, and leave her there, never to return.
All of a sudden, SNOW WHITE saw that she was alone in the great forest, and she did not know
what to do. But then, she saw a small house and went inside to rest. Later that day, the owners of the
small house returned home. They were the seven dwarfs who mined for gold in the mountains. They saw
Snow White sleeping and wondered who she was. Then when Snow White woke up, they told her she
could live with them if she took care of their small house.
The next day, the wicked queen, who was disguised as an old woman, knocked on the door and
gave Snow White a poisoned apple. If Snow White ate the apple, it would put her to sleep for 100 years.
Snow White was very hungry, so she ate the shiny, red apple. All of a sudden, she became very, very
sleepy and she lied down and fell asleep. After a while, the seven DWARFS returned home and found
Snow White asleep. They knew the wicked queen had poisoned her, and they were very sad.
Later that night, a handsome PRINCE riding his horse stopped at the small house looking for food
and shelter. When he saw Snow White sleeping, he gave her a kiss, Suddenly Snow White woke up! Then
when Snow White learned what had happened, she was so happy that the Prince’s kiss woke her up. She
decided to married him. In the end, Snow white, the prince and the seven dwarfs all lived happily ever
after.
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. One pig built a house of straw while the second pig
built his house with sticks. They built their houses very quickly and then sang and danced all day because
they were lazy. The third little pig worked hard all day and built his house with bricks.
Suddenly, a big bad wolf saw the two little pigs while they danced and played and thought, “What
juicy tender meals they will make!”
Then, he chased the two pigs and they ran and hid in their houses.
Next, the big bad wolf went to the first house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in
minutes. The frightened little pig ran to the second pig’s house that was made of sticks. The big bad wolf
now came to this house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in hardly any time.
Now, the two little pigs were terrified and ran to the third pig’s house that was made of bricks.
The big bad wolf tried to huff and puff and blow the house down, but he could not. He kept trying for
hours but the house was very strong and the little pigs were safe inside. He tried to enter through the
chimney but the third little pig boiled a big pot of water and kept it below the chimney. The wolf fell into
it and died.
Finally, the two little pigs now felt sorry for having been so lazy. They too built their houses with
bricks and lived happily ever after.

tennis which I play at least three times a week. I also love listening to classical music and I
must admit that I spend a lot of money on buying new CDs! I live in a pretty seaside town on
the Italian coast. I enjoy eating great Italian food and laughing with the likable people who
live here.

IV. LET´S PLAY BINGO.
Students complete bingo cards with a selection of specified adjectives. The teacher calls out
adjectives one by one. If a student has the opposite of the adjective on their bingo card, they cross the
word off. The winner is the student who gets three opposite adjectives in a row, either vertically,
horizontally or diagonally. You can also play with the winner having all nine squares crossed off. As soon
as a student has a winning sequence, he or she shouts out Bingo!
This enjoyable listening activity can be used to teach adjectives and their opposites.
Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for every eight students and cut as indicated.
Procedure:
• You can choose other adjectives and their opposites if you wish.
Review the selected adjectives and their meanings with the class.
Give each student a bingo card.
• Tell the students to choose nine of the adjectives and write them on their bingo card.
• When they have done that, start calling out the adjectives from the list and write them down
as you go.
• If a student has the opposite of that adjective, he or she crosses the word off their bingo
card.
• The winner is the student who gets three opposite adjectives in a row either vertically,
horizontally or diagonally.
• You can also play with the winner having all nine squares crossed off.
As soon as a student has a winning sequence, he or she shouts Bingo!
• Check the winning student's bingo card by going through the adjectives you have written
down.
• Play a few rounds. Variations and extensions: Students can play in small teams or they can be
the callers.
• Adjectives can be changed to match your lesson. Students can use some of the adjectives to
make a story.

V. FIRST, READ THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES AND CIRCLE THE ADJECTIVES. NEXT, PUT AN
ARROW TO THE WORD THEY MODIFY.
7. Your tennis shoes are too dirty! They are not clean!
DOMINOES
Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each pair of students and cut as indicated.
Procedure:
• Give one set of shuffled dominoes to each pair and ask them to divide the dominoes out
equally.
• One student places a domino down on the table. The other student then places one of his or her
dominoes at either end of the first domino so that the adjective and noun match.
• The two students then take it in turns to put down their dominoes at either end of the domino
chain.
• If a student thinks the adjective and noun combination doesn't match, he or she can
challenge the other student.
• If the adjective and noun combination doesn't match, the student must take back the domino
and miss a turn.
• If a student cannot make a matching adjective-noun combination, the turn passes to the next
student.
The game continues until one student has used all his or her dominoes. That student is the winner.
VII. MATCH THE OPPOSITES
good big
safe sad
happy dangerous
real hard
easy nice
fun bad
fast slow
tall short
young fake
mean old
little boring
Procedure
Start the activity by saying each adjective and asking for synonyms or examples of its
meaning. Students will need to know the meaning of all the words before they can proceed with
the activity.
Divide the class into groups of four and give each student a copy of the worksheet.
Read an adjective at random from the worksheet. The first group to give an appropriate
opposite gets a point. For an extra point, ask the group to use the opposite adjective in a
sentence. All of the students then write down the adjective on their worksheet
The group with the most points at the end is the winner.
After the game has been completed, ask the students to write ten sentences using two
adjectives from the worksheet in each sentence, e.g. The pretty girl drove a black sports car.
Next, split the students into pairs. Have the students exchange their sentences with their partner
and change the adjectives in the sentences to their opposites, e.g. The ugly girl drove a white
sports car.
Finally, ask the pairs to create a short story using the adjectives from the worksheet.
Answer Key
A size adjective, of course, tells you how big or small something is.
Size
For example: large, tiny, enormous, little
When you write in English you have to follow the order. You cannot use the adjectives in any
other order.
OPINION SIZE AGE SHAPE COLOUR ORIGIN MATERIAL PURPOSE noun

X. LET´S PLAY A GAME
To play this adjective review game, you or your students will need to create a deck of
adjective cards. You can use index cards or upcycle an old deck that may be missing a
card or two. To prep the game, simply write a different adjective on each card. To play,
each person starts with a picture. You might want to choose pictures for your students or
have them choose their own. You can use magazine pictures, travel brochures, pictures
printed off the internet, or have students bring in pictures they have taken themselves.
Each person lays the picture in front of him so he and the other players can easily see it.
Then, the dealer gives each person four cards and turns the first card over to make a
discard pile. The goal is to get four cards, and therefore four adjectives, that describe the
picture in front of you. On each turn, pick up one card either from the draw pile or the
discard pile.

COMPARATIVES
Comparative and Superlative Adjectives
A comparative adjective is used for comparing two people or things.
A superlative adjective is used for comparing one person or thing with a group of other people or
things.
5. The swimming pool is much at the other end. deep deeper deepest
6. Grandpa was because his favorite team lost. angry angrier angriest
7. This has been the day all year. busy busier busiest
10. The construction workers are working very . fast faster fastest
Some comparative and superlative adjectives are irregular. They don’t follow the same spelling
conventions.
Adjective: bad Comparative Adjective: worse Superlative Adjective: worst
11. Ted wanted vegetables on his plate. many more most
12. That movie was the I’ve seen in a long time. bad worse worst
17. The thunderstorm is than the one we had last month. bad worse worst

Imperative statements do not have a subject. The subject is understood to be you (singular or plural).
*Stay on the sidewalk. Don´t walk on the grass.
*Turn left at the next right, and go two blocks.
*Heat the milk, but don´t boil it.
*Put the book on the table, please.
You can add please to make an imperative more polite. Put please at the beginning or at the end of the
statement.
Imperative statements are strong. People in authority (such as teachers, employers, parents, police
officers, etc.) often use imperative statements. It is more polite to use a modal to ask or request (not tell)
others to do something.

The simple past is used principally to describe events in the past, but it also has some other uses. Here
are the main uses of the simple past.
Remember:
didn't is the short form of did not. You can say either:
• An hour ago
• yesterday
• last week
• last month
• 2 years ago
• Last Monday
• in 1974
• when I was Young
To learn the irregular verbs you must learn by heart, perhaps a song may help you
• Make cards to test yourself – put the infinitive on one side and the past on the other.
• Write sentences with different verbs in them. Include some negatives.
• Make up stories and record yourself. The story could just be about what you did last weekend.
• Do practice activities online. You can start by doing the ones below on this page!
b) CUT THE CARDS UP AS INDICATED, SEPARATE INTO TWO PILES (TIME EXPRESSION
CARDS AND VERB CARDS) AND SHUFFLE.
c) PUT THE TIME EXPRESSION CARDS FACE DOWN ON THE DESK AND DEAL OUT THE VERB
CARDS EQUALLY BETWEEN THE STUDENTS.
d) TAKE TURNS TO TURN OVER A TIME EXPRESSION CARD FROM THE PILE AND THEN
MAKE TRUE PAST SIMPLE SENTENCES ABOUT YOURSELF.
e) IF YOU CONSTRUCT A GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT AND BELIEVABLE PAST SIMPLE
SENTENCE WHICH IS AGREED ON BY THE OTHER PLAYERS TO BE TRUE, THEN YOU MAY
DISCARD THAT VERB CARD.
THE FIRST STUDENT TO GET RID OF ALL THE VERB CARDS IS THE WINNER.

IX. NOW LET´S PRACTICE SOME REGULAR VERBS. EACH STUDENT IS GIVEN A COPY OF THE
WORKSHEET. USING THE PAST SIMPLE TENSE, STUDENTS COMPLETE A CONVERSATION
WITH VERBS FROM A BOX. ALL THE VERBS ARE REGULAR VERBS THAT NEED TO BE
CHANGED INTO THEIR PAST TENSE FORM.
NEXT, THE CLASS IS SPLIT INTO PAIRS AND THE STUDENTS READ THE CONVERSATION
TOGETHER. STUDENTS THEN LOOK AT THE RULES ASSOCIATED WITH -ED SOUNDS. STUDENTS
FOLLOW THE RULES AND PUT THE REGULAR VERBS FROM THE CONVERSATION INTO THEIR
CORRECT CATEGORY. THEN, THEY READ THE CONVERSATION AGAIN. HERE THEY GET TO
PRACTICE THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION FOR THE -ED SOUNDS.
X. COMPLETE THE DIALOG BELOW WITH THE VERBS FROM THE BOX. USE THE PAST SIMPLE
TENSE. THEN READ THE CONVERSATION WITH A PARTNER
COMPLETE THE CONVERSATION WITH THE VERBS FROM THE BOX IN PAST TENSE.
DID YOU NOTICED SOMETHING?
LISTEN TO YOUR TEACHER EXPLAIN SOMETHING ABOUT HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE –ED IN
REGULAR VERBS (PAST TENSE).
NOW WRITE THE VERBS FROM THE CONVERSATION INTO THE CORRECT COLUMN.

XIII. GET IN TEAMS OF FOUR. EACH GROUP GETS A SET OF TIME EXPRESSION CARDS AND VERB
CARDS. THE TIME EXPRESSION CARDS ARE PLACED FACE DOWN AND THE VERB CARDS ARE
DEALT OUT EQUALLY BETWEEN THE STUDENTS. THEN TAKE IT IN TURNS TO TURN OVER A
TIME EXPRESSION CARD AND MAKE A TRUE PAST SIMPLE SENTENCE ABOUT YOURSELVES
USING ONE OF THEIR VERB CARDS AND THE TIME EXPRESSION. IF YOU CONSTRUCT A
BELIEVABLE PAST SIMPLE SENTENCE, YOU MAY DISCARD THE VERB CARD. IF THE OTHER
PLAYERS THINK THE SENTENCE CAN’T BE TRUE OR IF THE SENTENCE IS GRAMMATICALLY
INCORRECT, THEY CHALLENGE YOU, IN THIS CASE YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE VERB CARD. THE
WINNER IS THE STUDENT TO GET RID OF ALL THEIR VERB CARDS.
XIV. SPLIT INTO PAIRS AND GET A SET OF CARDS. EACH CARD CONTAINS A CLAUSE. YOU RACE
TO MAKE TEN COMPLEX PAST SIMPLE SENTENCES BY JOINING THREE CARDS TOGETHER.
JOIN THE SECOND CLAUSE TO THE FIRST CLAUSE USING THE CONJUNCTION ‘AND’ AND THE
THIRD CLAUSE USING ‘BUT’. THE THIRD CLAUSE IS NEGATIVE. YOU MUST WRITE ‘AND’
AND ‘BUT’ IN THE SPACES PROVIDED AND LAY THE CARDS OUT ON THE TABLE IN THE
CORRECT ORDER. THE FIRST PAIR OF STUDENTS TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE SENTENCES
CORRECTLY WINS.

XV. LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING MENTAL MAP AND COMPLETE IT ON YOUR OWN ABOUT THE
PAST
FUTURE
When we want to talk about future facts or things we believe to be true about the future, we use 'will'.
If we are not so certain about the future, we use 'will' with expressions such as 'probably', 'possibly', 'I
think', 'I hope'.
Use Going to express that something is a plan. The person intends to do something in the future.
1. I ______ a student.
3. He ______ an engineer.
5. We ____ Mexicans.

XXVIII. READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION OF THE FUTURE USING WILL.
We form the future adding the auxiliary WILL after the pronoun or name and before the
main verb, which is in present simple.
Example:
Clark Kent will die and his son will take his place.
XXIX. THE SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE EXPRESSES AN ACTION THAT HAS NOT YET HAPPENED.
COMPLETE THE WILL + VERB EACH OF THE SENTENCES.
ENGLISH AS WELL AS SPANISH HAS AUXILIARY VERBS. READ THE FOLLOWING, THE
HIGHLIGHTED WORD IS THE AUXILIARY VERB.
Did you go to the movies?
Do you work?
Is your mom a nurse?
Can you play the guitar?
Are you a student?
Will you get married?
Would you marry me?
Could you please open the door for me?

XXX. USE THE FOLLOWING T-CHART AND COMPLETE IT.
You usually make questions by switching the place of the auxiliary with the noun or name,
the rest is in the same place and
adding a question mark at the end.
XXXIV. COMPLETE EACH SENTENCE BY CHANGING THE VERB INTO THE FUTURE TENSE.
3. If I like the aquarium, my mom says we (go) ________________ back next year.
A) THE CLASS IS DIVIDED INTO PAIRS AND EACH PAIR IS GIVEN A COPY OF THE WORKSHEET.

MODAL VERBS
Probability:
First, they can be used when we want to say how sure we are that something happened / is
happening / will happen. We often call these 'modals of deduction' or 'speculation' or 'certainty' or
'probability'.
For example:
• It's snowing, so it must be very cold outside.
• I don't know where John is. He could have missed the train.
• This bill can't be right. $200 for two cups of coffee!
Ability
We can use verbs such as 'must' or 'should' to say when something is necessary or unnecessary, or to
give advice.
For example:
• Children must do their homework.
• We have to wear a uniform at work.
• You should stop smoking.
Permission
We can use verbs such as 'can', 'could' and 'may' to ask for and give permission. We also use modal
verbs to say something is not allowed.
For example:
• Could I leave early today, please?
• You may not use the car tonight.
• Can we swim in the lake?
Habits
We can use 'will' and 'would' to talk about habits or things we usually do, or did in the past.
For example:
• When I lived in Italy, we would often eat in the restaurant next to my flat.
• John will always be late!
XL. LET´S PRACTICE. CHOOSE THE MODAL VERB THAT BETTER FITS IN EACH SENTENCE
COLORING THE CORRECT SQUARE WITH A PENCIL COLOR.
3. If Gloria doesn´t start working harder, she ______________ repeat the course next year.
4. Valeria ____________ be very pleased with herself. She got the best grades.
5. Juan __________ broken the classroom window. He wasn´t even in school today.
7. What do you want to do? Well, we _______ go to the movies, but it looks like rain.
8. You ____________ eat so much soda! It’s not good for you.
15. From the way Delia speaks, she __________ be from Veracruz.
17. It’s OK, you __________ go when you’ve finished your cores.
present simple I like ice cream She said (that) she liked ice cream.
present
I am living in London She said (that) she was living in London.
continuous
past I was walking along She said (that) she had been walking
continuous the street. along the street.
present
I haven't seen Julie She said (that) she hadn't seen Julie.

past perfect*

will I'll see you later She said (that) she would see me later.
would* I would help, but.. She said (that) she would help but...
I can speak perfect She said (that) she could speak perfect

could*
was four was four.
shall I shall come later She said (that) she would come later.
might* "I might be late" She said (that) she might be late
* doesn't change.
Occasionally, we don't need to change the present tense into the past if the information in direct
speech is still true (but this is only for things which are general facts, and even then usually we
like to change the tense):
• Direct speech: The sky is blue.
• Reported speech: She said (that) the sky is/was blue.
Reported Questions
So now you have no problem with making reported speech from positive and negative
sentences. But how about questions?
The direct question is in the present simple tense. We make a present simple question with
'do' or 'does' so I need to take that away. Then I need to change the verb to the past simple.
Another example:
The direct question is the present simple of 'be'. We make the question form of the present
simple of be by inverting (changing the position of) the subject and verb. So, we need to change
them back before putting the verb into the past simple.
Here are some more examples:
So much for 'wh' questions. But, what if you need to report a 'yes / no' question? We don't have
any question words to help us. Instead, we use 'if':
• Direct speech: "Do you like chocolate?"
• Reported speech: She asked me if I liked chocolate.
No problem? Here are a few more examples:
Have you ever been to Mexico? She asked me if I had ever been to Mexico.
Reported Requests
There's more! What if someone asks you to do something (in a polite way)? For example:
• Direct speech: "Close the window, please"
• Or: "Could you close the window please?"
• Or: "Would you mind closing the window please?"
All of these requests mean the same thing, so we don't need to report every word when we tell
another person about it. We simply use 'ask me + to + infinitive':
• Reported speech: She asked me to close the window.
Here are a few more examples:
Could you pass the milk, please? She asked me to pass the milk.
Would you mind coming early She asked me to come early the next
tomorrow? day.
To report a negative request, use 'not':
Sometimes when we change direct speech into reported speech we have to change time
expressions too. We don't always have to do this, however. It depends on when we heard the
direct speech and when we say the reported speech.
For example:
If I tell someone on Monday, I say "Julie said she was leaving today".
If I tell someone on Tuesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving yesterday".
If I tell someone on Wednesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving on Monday".
If I tell someone a month later, I say "Julie said she was leaving that day".
So, there's no easy conversion. You really have to think about when the direct speech was said.
Here's a table of some possible conversions:
the day before yesterday / the day before / Wednesday / the 5th of
yesterday
December
