Describing What is Possible 4
direct speech and indirect speech
There are two ways to repeat what other people have said. We call them direct speech and indirect speech.
Direct speech is to give or say exactly what the other person has said or quote what the other person
has said. For example, “I am eating.”, she said. Notice that we use the quotation marks or inverted commas(“ ”) before and after the exact words or sentence of the other person.
past.

Indirect speech is also called reported speech. In indirect speech, we change the tense further into the

For example:
		(direct speech)		“I am eating,” she said.
		(indirect speech)
She said that she was eating.		

		(presentcontinuous)(past continuous)

When we change direct speech into indirect speech, we change the pronouns. In the example above, thepronoun “I” becomes “she”. We may or may not use the exact words of the speaker in indirect speech. For
example, She said she was eating. Notice that there are no quotation marks in indirect speech.
Some modals are changed when we change direct speech into indirect speech.We change will to would, canto could, may to might, shall to should, must to had to, etc. When the words would, could, might, should andought are used in direct speech, they are not changed in indirect speech.
For example:		(direct speech)		(indirect speech)“I will clean the table.”, he said.
He said (that) he would clean the table.

				“I might sleep late.”, Maria said.
Maria said (that) she might sleep late.

GRAMMAR FOCUS
Describing What is Possible 4
indirect speech with questions, imperatives, and requests
We have already learned about direct speech and indirect speech before (see Lesson P3) and how tochange direct speech into reported speech or indirect speech. In this lesson we will learn more of changing
direct into indirect speech with questions, requests and imperatives.
Indirect Speech with questions:
		ForWh questions, the tense of the verb is still changed. Remember that reporting a question
should not appear as a question in indirect speech but a normal positive sentence. Though, we still keep or
use the question words (like what, where, when, etc) in indirect speech.
For example, “What is your name?” she asked.
			She asked me what my name was.
		For yes/no questions, we use the word if / whether in changing direct speech into indirectspeech.
For example, “Do you like tea?” he asked.
		He asked me if I liked tea.

EXERCISE P5.1

1. “What is your name?” he asked.

In changing direct speech into indirect speech, we follow this structure: ask + to + infinitive.

Short Answers
so and not		In informal spoken English, we sometimes don’t answer questions in complete sentences. For
example, If I say“Have you seen Maria today?”and you reply“I think so.”We use this short reply when we are
fairly certain but not 100% sure. In that example, you were not 100% sure if you did see Maria.
Another use of short answers is when we are asked about our opinion on something. For example,
Do you think we have a class? - I don’t think so. We also use this when we just give our opinion or belief abouta statement and are not 100% sure about it. For example, We will get there in time. - I hope so.

GRAMMAR FOCUS
Describing the Relationship Between Two Events
clauses with time adverbials
In this lesson, we study one way of showing the relationship between two events.The two events are describedby separate clauses, one of which contains a time adverbial to show the relationship between the two events. For
example, here are two events:
Event 1: Mark cooked dinner.
Event 2: Susan came home.
The relationship between these two events can be described by linking them with a time adverbial. For example:
Mark cooked dinner when Susan came home.
Mark cooked dinner before Susan came home.
Mark cooked dinner after Susan came home.
The tenses of the verbs sometimes change depending on the time adverbial used. For example:
Mark was cooking dinner until Susan came home.
Mark was cooking dinner while Susan was coming home.
Mark was cooking dinner as Susan was coming home.
Sometimes, the time adverbial comes before both clauses:
While Mark was cooking dinner, Susan was coming home.
As Mark was cooking dinner, Susan was coming home.

GRAMMAR FOCUS
Something Specific, Things in General and Countries in Plural Form
article “the”
The article the has many uses.
The first use is if both the speaker and the listener know when or what they are talking about.
For example, The boy outside is very noisy. The person who spoke this is certain that the other person who he isspeaking with knows the boy he is refering to.
The second use is to talk about something in general. For example,The computer is important for everyone.
In this example, we don’t refer to only one computer but the computer in general. But if I say, The computer in myroom is broken, I mean a specific computer that I own which is in my room.
We also use the article the with countries that are plural in form. Countries like Netherlands, Philippines,
United Staes of America, United Kingdom, etc. We say the Philippines, the Netherlands, the UK, etc.

R.E.M.S. METHODLESSONP32

GRAMMAR FOCUS
Expressing Desires
wish
The word wish occurs in a few different grammatical structures with different functions. However, they all
express some kind of desire.
We use this structure: subject + wish + object + noun phrase to express the desire for the object to have or bein the state of the noun phrase. For example, I wish you good luck. Or, John wished Mary all the best for her
new job.
We use wish to express something that is not true now and but we would like to happen in the present or
future, even though it may be unlikely or even impossible. The structure is wish + (that) + past simple. For
example, I wish that I owned this company. Or I wish I owned this company. Another example is, I wish there
was no work tomorrow. And, I wish I were/was a rich person. In this last example, was and were are bothcorrect, but were is more common.
When we use wish to express desire about an ability, we use could with wish. For example, I wish I could
drive a fast car. I wish I could speak Japanese well.
Wish can also be used with the past perfect to express the desire for something to be different in the past
(because it’s in the past, this is of course impossible to change).This strucutre expresses regret. For example,
I wish I had gone to bed early, then I wouldn’t be sleepy and tired today.
Another structure is: wish + (that) + would. We use this expression if we want a person to do or not dosomething, or if we want the person to change. For example, I wish that dad would stop drinking.
