2.     HOW to DO TENSE CHANGE FROM DIRECT TO INDIRECT SPEECH?
Direct and indirect speech
Direct and indirect speech can be a source of confusion for English learners. Let's first define the
terms, then look at how to talk about what someone said, and how to convert speech from direct
to indirect or vice-versa.
You can answer the question what did he say? In two ways:
by repeating the words spoken (direct speech)
by reporting the words spoken (indirect or reported speech).
Direct Speech
Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words were spoken. When we use direct speech in
writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these
words. We may be reporting something that's being said NOW (for example a telephone
conversation), or telling someone later about a previous conversation.
Examples
She says, "What time will you be home?"
She said, "What time will you be home?" and I said, "I don't know! "
"There's a fly in my soup!" screamed Simone.
John said, "There's an elephant outside the window."
Indirect speech
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the
tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word
'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
She said, "I saw him." (direct speech) = She said that she had seen him. (Indirect speech)
"That" may be omitted:
She told him that she was happy. = She told him she was happy.
General rules for changing direct speech into indirect speech
Omit all inverted commas or quotation marks. End the sentence with a full stop.
If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the
corresponding past tense. If it is in the simple past tense, change it into the past perfect tense.

2.     WHAT IS THE GENERAL RULE OF CHANGING FROM DIRECT TO
INDIRECT SPEECH?

ACTION:

1.     WHY DO WE USE SPEECH IN ENGLISH?

2.     HOW to DO TENSE CHANGE FROM DIRECT TO INDIRECT SPEECH?
In previous class we have seen change of tense and in today’s class we will be learning how and
pronoun and time and place change from direct to indirect speech.
1. First person pronouns (I, we, me, mine, us, ours) normally change to the third person (he, she,
they, his, her, their, him, her, them).
He told her, "I want to meet your father."
He told her that he wanted to meet her father.

2. There will be no change in the pronoun when the speaker reports his own words.
I said, "I am going."
I said that I was going.

3. Second person pronouns (you, yours) change according to the person of the object of the
reporting verb.
He told her, "I love you."
He told her that he loved her.
I told him, "You are a stupid."
I told him that he was a stupid.

4. Third person pronouns do not normally change in the reported speech.

She said, "I love him."
She said that she loved him.
ANALYSIS:

He said, "I like this song."

→ He said

"Where is your sister?" she asked me.

→ She asked me

"I don't speak Italian," she said.

→ She said

"Say hello to Jim," they said.

→ They asked me

"The film began at seven o'clock," he said.

→ He said

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Born April 25, 1939, in Ames, Iowa. Attended Ames Public Schools, Iowa State University (B.S.
1962), and the University of Nebraska (M.A. 1968). Worked for many years as a life insurance
executive; now retired and teaching half time at The University of Nebraska.

ABANDONED FARM HOUSE

He was a big man, says the size of his shoes

on a pile of broken dishes by the house;
a tall man too, says the length of the bed
in an upstairs room; and a good, God-fearing man,
says the Bible with a broken back
on the floor below the window, dusty with sun;
but not a man for farming, say the fields
cluttered with boulders and the leaky barn.
A woman lived with him, says the bedroom wall
papered with lilacs and the kitchen shelves
covered with oilcloth, and they had a child,
says the sandbox made from a tractor tire.
Money was scarce, say the jars of plum preserves
and canned tomatoes sealed in the cellar hole.
And the winters cold, say the rags in the window frames.
It was lonely here, says the narrow country road.

PREPOSTITIONAL PHRASE

Students will be able to identify a preposition and its object in a prepositional phrase.

AIM:

STUDENTS WILL COME TO KNOW,

1. WHAT IS PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE?

2. WHAT DOES IT DO TO A SENTENCE?
3. WHAT IS PREPOSITION?
4. WHAT IS PHRASE?

ACTION:

THE DOG SITS UNDER THE TABLE

 Explain that a prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and

its object.

 Refer to your earlier example (i.e. The dog sits under the table.) Underline the
prepositional phrase—under the table. Tell students that this underlined part of the
sentence is the prepositional phrase.

 Circle the preposition—under—and remind students that this is the preposition.

 Draw an arrow from the preposition to the object—the table—and tell students that this is
the object of the preposition.

 Explain that the object is the noun that follows the preposition. In this example (the dog
sits under the table) we can ask ourselves, "The dog sits under what?" The answer (the
table) is the object of the preposition.

ABANDONED FARM HOUSE

Something went wrong, says the empty house

in the weed-choked yard. Stones in the fields
say he was not a farmer; the still-sealed jars
in the cellar say she left in a nervous haste.
And the child? Its toys are strewn in the yard
like branches after a storm—a rubber cow,
a rusty tractor with a broken plow,
a doll in overalls. Something went wrong, they say.
