Use of English

Reported Speech

Main rules: When transforming statements, check whether you have to change:

  • pronouns

  • present tense verbs (3rd person singular)

  • place and time expressions

  • tenses changes

  1. Change the pronoun according to who says what in the reported speech.

E.g.: Susan: “I work in an office.” Susan says (that) she works in an office.

  1. Do not change the tense if the introductory verb is in the Present Simple. (E.g.: He says)

Note, however, that you might have to change the form of the present tense verb (3rd person singular E.g.: He says, “I speak English”– He says that he speaks English.

3. Change the tense if the introductory verb is in the Past Simple. (E.g.: He said) E.g.: He said, “I am busy” – He said that he was busy.

4. The verbs could, should, would, must, might, needn’t, ought to, and used to do not normally change.

5. Use say and tell in both direct and indirect speech. Tell is always used with personal pronouns. We do not use (to) with tell. Say may be used with or without a personal pronoun. It is followed by the preposition (to) when it is used by an object pronoun.

E.g.: He said, “Helen is late today.” He said (that) Helen was late that day.

He said to me, “Helen is late today.” He said (that)/told me (that) Helen was late that day.

He told me, “Helen is late today.” He told me (that) Helen was late that day.

6. The Past Perfect and Past Perfect Continuous do not change in the reported speech.

Questions

Main rules:

When transforming questions, check whether you have to change:

  • pronouns.

  • present tense verbs (3rd person singular).

  • place and time expressions.

  • tenses changes.

Also note that you:

  • have to use the structure of affirmative sentence after wh questions.

  • have to use the interrogative or if / whether.

  • have to omit words and expressions as please, well, oh etc.

Direct Speech

Reported Speech

Statement

He said: “She lives in London.”

He said that she lived in London.

Question with a wh question

He asked: “Where does she live?”

He asked where she lived.

Question without a wh question

He asked: “Does she live in London?”

He asked if she lived in London.

He asked whether she lived in London.

Requests

  • Transforming questions, check whether you have to change:

pronouns

  • place and time expressions

Type

Example

Direct Speech

Mike, speak English.

Reported Speech

He told Mike to speak English

  • For requests – simply use to + infinite verb.

E.g.: She said, “Say hello to your mum”. – She asked me to say hello to my mum.

  • For negative requests, use not to + infinite verb.

E.g.: He said, “Don’t give up, Bob”. – He advised Bob not to give up.

Use the Present Tense to report a conversation that is still going. Direct statement: He said “I am fine”. Reported statement Tom says / writes that he is fine.

Additional information and exceptions

Note there are some aspects that you should keep in mind, for example:

  • main clauses connected with and / but

  • tense of the introductory clause

  • reported speech for difficult tenses

  • exceptions for backshift

  • requests with must, should, ought to and let’s

Main Clauses connected with and / but

If two complete main clauses are connected with and or but put that after the conjunction.

E.g.: He said, “I saw her but she didn’t see me.” – He said that he had seen her but that she hadn’t seen him.

If the subject is left out in the second main clause (the conjunction is followed by a verb), do not use ‚that‘: E.g.: She said, “I am a nurse and work in a hospital.” – She said that she was a nurse and worked in a hospital.

Tense of the Introductory Clause The introductory clause usually is in the Past Tense.

He said that …

The Present Tense is often used to report a conversation that is still going on, e.g. during a phone call or while reading a letter:

E.g.: “I am fine.” – Tom says / writes that he is fine.

The introductory clause can also be in another tense. In the following table you can see, for which tense of the introductory clause you have to use backshift in reported speech.

Table of use tense change in the reported speech

No tense change if introductory clause is in …

Tense change if introductory clause is in …

  • Simple Present (He says …)

  • Present Perfect (He has said …)

  • Future Simple (He will say …)

  • To be going to (He is going to say …)

  • Simple Past (He said …)

  • Past Perfect (He had said …)

  • Future Perfect (He will have said …)

  • Conditional (He would say …)

  • Conditional (He would have said …)

Exceptions

You may not change the tense or if you agree with the original speaker.

Direct: Ann: “Washington is the capital of the USA.”

Indirect: She said that Washington is / was the capital of the USA.

It is not necessary to change the tense if there is a time expression indicating past.

Direct: “She left Boston on Monday.”

Indirect: He said that she left / had left Boston on Monday.

Do not change the tense in sentences with when / if.

Direct: “When I was having breakfast, the telephone suddenly rang.”

Indirect: She said that when she was having breakfast, the telephone suddenly rang.

Direct:“If I had more time, I would learn French.”

Indirect: He said that if he had more time, he would learn French.

Advise expressions with must, should and ought are usually reported using advise / urge.

Direct: “You must read that book.”

Indirect: He advised / urged me to read that book.

Use suggest and gerund or statement with should to report the expression let’s.

Direct: “Let’s go to the cinema.”

Indirect: He suggested going to the cinema.

He suggested that we should go to the cinema.

Use indirect questions when we ask for information politely. The word order of indirect question is the same as in statements.

Direct: “Where is a bus station?”

Indirect: Do you know where the bus station is?
