Reported Speech - English Grammar Series

Reported Speech, also known as Indirect Speech, is an important part of conversational English because it requires repeating someone else's words.

English language students need to learn and practice the Reported Speech, since it is used in various situations to convey information or repeat someone else's words. This ebook will focus only on instances where the reporting verb is in past tense (such as said, told, etc.), necessitating a shift to past tense in the reported clause for practical reasons. For example: 'I am going to the super market' becomes 'He said that he was going to the super market'. It is also possible to report someone's words in the present without any tense change. For example: 'He says he is going to the super market'.

This ebook can help students learn how to use Reported Speech, understand its purpose, and practice through various interactive exercises. The solutions are given towards the conclusion of the book.
