UNIT 4: REPORTED SPEECH

We use reported speech to report what another person has said, without quoting their exact word. In reported speech we don't use inverted commas ("...").


REPORTED STATEMENTS


TENSE CHANGES

* When we convert a direct speech sentence into reported speech, we change the tense of the main verb by putting it one step further into the past.

DIRECT SPEECH	REPORTED SPEECH
Present simple	Past simple
I come	I came
Present continuous	Past continuous
I’m reading	I was reading
Present perfect simple	Past perfect simple
I have told	I had told
Past simple	Past perfect simple
I walked	I had walked
Will	Would
I will see	I would see
Can	Could
I can sing	I could sing
Must	Had to
I must read	I had to read

For example: "I can't come to your party" said Toni --> Toni said that he couldn't come to my party.

* We don't change the past perfect simple in reported speech.


OTHER CHANGES

* Most modals verbs don't change when we convert direct speech into reported speech. For example:
You should report the theft --> She said that I should report the theft.

* Pronouns usually change

* Expressions of time and place usually change. For example:
"Were are going to meet tomorrow" said Lisa --> Lisa said that they were going to meet the following day.

DIRECT SPEECH	REPORTED SPEECH
Here	There
This	That
These	Those
Now	Then
Next week	The following week
Today	That day
Tonight	That night
Tomorrow	The following day
Yesterday	The day before
Last week	The week before

REPORTED COMMANDS AND REQUESTS

* In reported commands we use:

Subject + TELL + object + (not) to + verb (infinitive).

Ex: The police officer told him to go away.

     The detective told us not to touch anything.

* In reported requests we use:

Subject + ASK + (not) to + verb (infinitive).

Ex: He asked me to show him my passport.

      The judge asked us not no make a noise.

REPORTING QUESTIONS

These sentences have a different word order from direct questions. In fact, they have the same order as affirmative questions.

Direct questions: verb + subject --> "What's your name?" he asked.

Reported speech: subject + verb --> He asked what her name was.

* We don't use do/did in reported questions.

* If a direct question uses a question word we repeat it in the reported question.

   Ex: "What are you reading? asked Jake. --> Jake asked what he was reading.

* If a direct question doesn't use a question word, we use if or wether in the reported question.

   Ex: "Can you show me your passport?" asked the police. --> The police asked if she could show him her passport.

REPORTING VERBS

We can use other verbs to introduce reported speech.

- VERB + OBJECT + VERB (infinitve with to). --> Reported verbs used in reported commands and requests.

       * ask, advise, invite, order, remind, tell, encourage, persuade, warn.

Ex: "You ought to tell them the truth". --> She advised them to tell the truth.

- VERB + VERB (infinitive with to).

      * agree, offer, promise, refuse.

Ex: "No, we won't help you". --> They refused to help us.

- VERB (+ that) + SUBJECT + VERB ( in reporting tense).

     * admit, declare, explain, insist, promise, recommend, reply, reveal, say, suggest, add.

Ex: "You need to call this number". --> He explained that I needed to call that number.

- VERB + FOR + VERB (-ing)

      * apologize for

Ex: "I'm sorry I was impolite". --> She apologized for being impolite.

Brandon Flowers - Crossfire

Brandon Flowers: Crossfire

CROSSFIRE

There's a still in the street outside your window

You're keeping secrets on your pillow

Let me inside no cause for alarm

I promise tonight I won't do no harm

Yeah I promise ya babe, I won't do you no harm

And we're caught up in the crossfire

Of heaven and hell

And we're searchin’ for shelter

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Watching you dress as you turn down the lights

I forget all about the storm outside

Dark clouds roll their way over town

Heart-ache and pain came-ah pouring down

Like hail, sleet and rain, yeah, they're handing it out

We're caught up in the crossfire

Of heaven and hell

And we're searchin’ for shelter

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came

His fiery arrows drew their bead in vain

And when the hardest part is over we'll be here

And our dreams will break

The boundaries of our fear

The boundaries of our fear

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Lay your body down

Next to mine

TRANSLATION:

FUEGO CRUZADO

La calle que da a tu ventana está en calma

mientras guardas secretos sobre tu almohada

Déjame entrar, no tienes por qué asustarte

prometo no causar ningún daño esta noche

te prometo cariño, no te haré ningún daño

Y estamos atrapados en el fuego cruzado

de cielo e infierno

Y estamos buscando refugio

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Mirando tu vestido mientras bajas las luces

me olvido de todo de la tormenta de afuera

Nubes negras retumban abriéndose camino sobre la ciudad

diluviando sufrimiento y dolor

arrojándolo como si fuese granizo, aguanieve y lluvia

Y estamos atrapados en el fuego cruzado

de cielo e infierno

Y estamos buscando refugio

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Dile al diablo que puede irse por dónde vino

nos apuntó con sus abrasadoras flechas en vano

Y cuando haya pasado lo peor, seguiremos aquí

y nuestros sueños sobrepasarán los límites de nuestro miedo

los límites de nuestro miedo

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

Túmbate

junto a mí
