Reported Speech - Lanternfish ESL
Reported Speech
|[pic] |We use reported speech to tell what other people have said. For example: |
| | |
| |The knight said that he would slay the dragon. |
| | |
| |Note that ‘will’ has been changed to ‘would’. Usually, when we report what others have |
| |said, we change it to the past tense. Sometimes, we leave it in the present tense if |
| |it’s a general truth. |
Try these:
“I am going to the castle.”
______________________________________________________
“I want to speak to the king.”
______________________________________________________
“I can help get rid of the dragon.”
______________________________________________________
“I am not afraid of a giant lizard.”
______________________________________________________
“I have to find a good place to see the dragon.”
______________________________________________________
“The dragon is much bigger than I thought.”
______________________________________________________
“The dragon is coming towards me.”
______________________________________________________
“I have never seen anything so frightening.”
______________________________________________________
“I think I just wet my armor.”
______________________________________________________
“I don’t think I can slay the dragon.”
