REPORTED SPEECH

CECYTEMGLISH

Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person said.

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR

indirect speech

direct speech

'I work in a bank,' said Daniel.

Daniel said that he worked in a bank.

In indirect speech, we often use:

  • a tense which is 'further back' in the past (e.g. worked) than the tense originally used (e.g. work). This is called 'backshift'.
  • We also may need to change other words that were used, for example pronouns (e.g. he).
