LEARNED
Compare the first and the second
underlined statement of Tom. What
changed?
First: Lizel said, “I like your story book.”
Second: Lizel said that she liked my story book.
In the first statement there is a comma and
quotation mark while in the second statement
there is none. The word “that” was in the second
statement. There is also change in the tense of
the verb “like” from present tense to past tense.
First: Hannah said, “I learned to skate last week”
Second: Hannah said that she had learned to skate last
week.

The same changes in the comma and quotation


mark can be observed. The word “that” also appears
in the second sentence. This time the verb “learned”
in the past tense changed into “had learned” in the
past perfect tense. The pronoun “I” changed into
“she.”
DIRECT AND
REPORTED
SPEECH
How are direct speech and reported
speech different?
1. Direct speech has quotation marks; reported
speech does not use quotation marks.
2. In reported speech, the pronoun often
changes. For example, in the above Sentence
no.1 with direct speech, the pronoun I is used,
whereas the sentence with reported speech
uses the pronoun he.
How are direct speech and reported
speech different?
3. In reported speech, the word that is often
used after said, but that is optional.
4. The verb in reported speech changes in
tense.

NOTE!
Reported Speech is usually introduced by a verb
in the past tense but it can also be introduced by a
verb in a present tense: He says that ... This is
usual when we are:
a. reporting a conversation that is still going on
b. reading a letter and reporting what it says
c. reading instructions and reporting them
d. reporting a statement that someone makes very
often, e.g. Tom says that he’ll never get
married.
NOTE!
When the introductory verb is in a present, present
perfect or future tense we can report the direct speech
without any change of tense:

PAUL (phoning from the station): I’m trying to get a


taxi.
ANN (to Mary, who is standing beside her): Paul says
he is trying to get a taxi.
