REPORTED SPEECH

.We have studied in class that we use the reported or indirect speech when we report other people's words. Those reported words are frequently spoken in a different place and time, and for that reason some changes have to be made ( pronouns, verb tenses, adverbs of time and place....).
Since many of you don't feel quite confident about this new grammar point, and want to know more, here you have some videos where teacher Jennifer explains perfectly the statements and questions in reported speech



You can also have a look at this point in English Grammar in use by Raymond Murphy.

Your classmate, Antonio del Pozo NI1 group 2, wants to share the following links if you want to keep on working on the reported speech. (Thanks Antonio)

HAPPY VIEWING!


Do you sometimes feel frustated when listening to an audio or watching a video, and have the feeling your English doesn't improve ?

Don't get depressed!
It is said that babies spend about two years watching and listening before saying proper sentences.

We learn in a different way, but practising is the first step to master anything. So why don't you start right now?

I have come across a site with English subtitled videos and different levels of difficulty.

First watch, listen and read, then listen again without the subtitles and finally try to tell someone (or yourself in the mirror, in English, of course) what you remember. Another option is, when the video finishes, watch it in "quiz mode" where you'll have to guess the missing words.

Happy Viewing!
