E. Discussion
The teacher discusses the lesson about “Direct and Indirect Speech”.

We attend club meetings, join discussions, or represent our class or group at events.
There are times we need to give information about what people say or think in such situations to
let others know what had happened to give such reports, we use direct or indirect speech.
When we say exactly what someone has said, it is direct speech. Sometimes it is called
quoted speech. When the report is written, we use quotation marks.

Examples:
  Our teacher said, “Teresa, you and your group will research on argumentation and
debate.”
(When we use our own words to give information or report about what others said, it is indirect
speech – sometimes called reported speech.)

 Our teacher said that I and my group will research on argumentation and debate.
(In indirect speech, the word that is often used. However, it is optional.

When using indirect speech, remember the following guidelines.

1. The tense of the verb usually changes because we are talking about a time in the past (the
time when the speaker was talking).
