Reported Speech
is the grammar we use when we want to tell another person
about a conversation that took place in the past.
We often use reported speech to . . .1. Give someone a telephone message:Example: Mary said she couldn’t come today because…
2. Tell someone news that we heard from someone else:Example: Tom told me that he and Karen got engaged!
3. To report something that happened:Example: Sam said that the other driver wasn’t
paying attention and hit his car.

When we use reported speech, we are usually talking about the past.
Therefore, verbs usually change to the past tense in reported speech.

Reported speech typically
uses the following
structure:
Someone said (that) … Sentence
OR
Someone told me (that) … Sentence
However, in English, you can NEVER say
Someone said me . . .

Examples of reporting what
someone said . . .
I talked to Sandra yesterday. She was telling me about her job. Her job is quite stressful. Sandra said:
“I’m not happy at my job anymore. I think I’ll quit.”
![Page 11: ppt reported speech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082213/568c4cf01a28ab4916a20e19/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sandra said, “I’m not happy at my job
anymore. I think I’ll quit.
Now you want to tell someone else what Sandra said. In this situation, it’s natural to use
reported speech: You can say:
Sandra told me that she_____________________________________happy at her job anymore and
she ______________________________________ she _____________________________ quit.

When a person told you something in the past tense, you can use either the past tense or the past
perfect after the “said” phrase.
Example:
Tim said: “I workedreally hard
today.”
past tense
past perfect tense
