🗣️ Reported Speech Rules

When we report what someone else said, we don’t use exact quote marks. Instead, we usually take a “step back in time” and change the tense, pronouns, and time words.

1. Tense Shifts (Step Back)

Present Simple
“I play guitar.”
→
Past Simple
He said he played guitar.
Present Continuous
“I am acting.”
→
Past Continuous
She said she was acting.
Will / Can
“I will sing.”
→
Would / Could
He said he would sing.

2. Commands & Requests

For commands, we don’t change tenses. We use asked / told + person + (not) to + verb.

  • “Sit down!” ➔ The director told the actor to sit down.
  • “Please don’t talk.” ➔ She asked me not to talk.

🔄 Grammar in Action

See how sentences transform based on the workbook exercises. Look closely at how the reporting verbs (said, promised, asked, suggested) are used.

“I’m not going to this concert tonight,” John said.
John told his friend he was not going to that concert that night.
“I will buy you a laptop!” Mr White said.
Mr White promised his son that he would buy him a laptop.
“When are we rehearsing the play?” I asked.
I asked when we were rehearsing the play.
“Please don’t play your music so loudly,” she said.
She asked me not to play my music so loudly.
“Let’s go and buy that new CD by Britney Spears,” John said.
John suggested going to buy that new CD by Britney Spears.
*Rule: Suggest is followed by verb+ing.

✍️ The Director’s Cut: Writing

In the writing exam, you may have to write a letter or a story. Follow the director’s tips to get top marks!

Scene 1: Ordering Your Ideas

  • Read the prompt carefully: What are you asked to write about? A recent concert? A film review?
  • Paragraphing: Always use paragraphs. Introduction, Main Body (1-2 paragraphs), and Conclusion.
  • Describing People & Places: Use vivid adjectives. Instead of “a good singer,” use “a spectacular performer.”
  • Story vs Letter:
    – If writing a story, use narrative tenses (Past Simple, Past Cont.) and create suspense.
    – If writing a letter, use a friendly opening (“Dear…”) and reply to the questions asked.
THAT’S A WRAP!
