Let’s learn some GRAMMAR! “Reported Speech”
● We use reported speech to tell somebody what another person said.

● We can report another person’s words or our own words.

● In reported speech, we usually change

- the tense of verb from the present to the past (eg. have - had)

- the pronouns of the listener and the speaker (eg. “You have to eat all” - Mom told me I

had to eat all.

- the time expressions (eg. now - then)

● We use said when there is no specific listener.

● We use told when there is a specific listener/listeners.

● We usually put a name or an object pronoun after told.
