He said he loved me… That's an example of reported speech. In this session we learn how to use it with the help of your traveller brother Jarek, and your excitable best friend Sam.
The hot date
You've been on a date and your best friend wants to know all about it. To tell her, you're going to need reported speech, including reported questions. Let's take a look at these.
A direct question is: Where are you from?
A reported question is: He asked where I was from.
To form a reported question, you need to follow these steps:
1) Use a reporting verb:
- He asked where I was from.
2) Repeat the question word:
- He asked where I was from.
3) Change the pronouns:
- He asked where I was from.
4) Move the tense back (note: you don't have to move the tense back when you're talking about general truths):
- He asked where I was from.
5) Use statement word order:
- He asked where I was from.
Note: Yes/no questions
For yes/no questions, we use if or whether.
Example: Is it two o'clock?
- She asked if it was two o'clock.
- She asked whether it was two o'clock.
