1. What is Reported Speech? Reported speech (or indirect speech) is when you tell someone what someone else said, without using their exact words. Instead of quoting them directly, you change the structure to fit the context of the new conversation. Example: Direct Speech: She said, “I am happy.” Reported Speech: She said that she was happy. 2. How to Form Reported Speech: When turning direct speech into reported speech, you usually: Change the pronouns. Shift the verb tense back (known as backshifting). Adjust time expressions and other words if needed. A. Basic Rules of Tense Backshifting When moving from direct to reported speech, we often shift the verb one step back in time: Present Simple → Past Simple Direct: "I like ice cream." → Reported: She said that she liked ice cream. Present Continuous → Past Continuous Direct: "I am eating." → Reported: He said that he was eating. Present Perfect → Past Perfect Direct: "I have finished." → Reported: She said that she had finished. Past Simple → Past Perfect Direct: "I saw it." → Reported: He said that he had seen it. If the reporting verb is in the present tense (e.g., says, asks), then you don’t need to change the verb tense. B. Pronoun Changes Change pronouns according to the context of the reported sentence: Direct: "I am coming to your party." Reported: She said that she was coming to my party. C. Time and Place Changes Words that reference time or place often change as well: Today → That day Tomorrow → The next day / The following day Yesterday → The day before Here → There Now → Then Example: Direct: "I’ll call you tomorrow." Reported: He said that he would call me the next day. D. Reporting Questions In reported questions, the word order changes to a statement structure, and you don’t use question marks. Yes/No Questions: Add "if" or "whether." Direct: "Are you coming?" → Reported: He asked if I was coming. WH-Questions: Keep the question word (who, what, where, etc.). Direct: "Where are you going?" → Reported: She asked where I was going. E. Reporting Commands and Requests To report commands or requests, use "tell" or "ask" followed by the infinitive form of the verb. Direct: "Please sit down." Reported: He asked me to sit down. Direct: "Don’t touch that!" Reported: She told me not to touch that. F. Reporting Suggestions For suggestions, use "suggest" + gerund or "that" + subject. Direct: "Let’s go to the park." Reported: She suggested going to the park. Direct: "You should see a doctor." Reported: He suggested that I should see a doctor.

3:21 I think in this sentence 'She said that they might invite them to the dinner ' Should be ' She said that she might invite them to the dinner '. (Actually I'm still high school student. If my correction is wrong please tell me. ) I started to watch your channel recently. You are a good teacher.

[@gumballwat4]

Yeah that's what I was about to say And for the last one I think it should be : She said that she had to submit that assignment by 3 pm the next day

[@lestherxm]

Yes, you're right. Although it could be inferred that it is "they" due to a family dinner that she could be organizing. But still, the most logical way would be to use "she".

[@coolwithone6146]
