Reported speech
• Reported speech is used to repeat what another person said.
Direct speech Reported speechHe told me, He told me (that)‘I’m worried.’ he was worried.
He said, He said (that) ‘I’m worried.’ he was worried.
• When the verb introducing the reported speech (the ‘reporting verb’) is in the past, the following changes occur:
Direct speechPresent simpleShe said, ‘I work in London.’
Present continuousHe said, ‘I’m completing a project.’
Present perfectShe said, ‘I’ve broken my arm.’
Past simpleHe said, ‘I talked to them.’
will + infi nitiveHe said, ‘I will arrive home early.’
Reported speechPast simpleShe said (that) she worked in London.
Past continuousHe said (that) he was completing a project.
Past perfectShe said (that) she had broken her arm.
Past perfectHe said (that) he had talked to them.
would + infi nitiveHe said (that) he would arrive home early.
• We also change modal verbs:
Direct speechcanShe said, ‘I can speak German.’
must/have (got) toShe said, ‘You must leave.’
mayHe said, ‘It may snow later.’
Reported speechcouldShe said (that) she could speak German.
had toShe said (that) I had to leave.
mightHe said (that) it might snow later.
say and tell
• Say and tell are the most common reporting verbs.
• If we use told, we must follow it with a person or an object pronoun.She told me (that) she was going away.NOT She told (that) she was going away.
• However, this is not the case with said.NOT She said me that …

I was in a r estaurant on Thursday night, and imagine my surprise when politicians John Redford and Samuel Hill came in. They’re political opponents, and Redford had attacked Hill earlier in the day about the gover nment’s health plans. But here they were, enjoying a meal together, like two actors after a play.
For this week’s Satur day interview I spoke to psychologist and writer Faith Nor ton about her new book, Defi nitely Different. In it, she looks at the dif ferent way that men and women relate to their friends, and explains why female friendships actually help women to live longer.
In tonight’s re-run of the fourth series
of Desperate Housewives, Carlos tells
Edie that he’s going away on a golfi ng
weekend, but is really seeing his ex-
wife, Gabrielle. Meanwhile, Gabrielle
realises that her husband has hired a
private detective to watch her, so she
leaves home in disguise.

Nobody believes this excuse any mor e, but for Paul Wheeler it was true.
Paul had gone out with friends after fi nishing a school project. When he got back home, his dog had destr oyed his USB memor y stick with the only copy of his project on it.
Paul saw Buster eating something as he was walking thr ough the door. But by the time he r ealized that it was his memory stick, it was too late.
Paul tried to tell his teacher what had happened. As soon as he said that the dog had eaten his homework, she started to laugh.
