Lesson 35

Travel experiences 1

In this lesson

you will learn how to use the reported speech and revise grammar from the previous lessons.

Ключевые слова: reported speech, direct speech, say, tell.

Речевой материал: введение новых грамматических структур, тренировка их употребления в речи, правила употребления косвенной речи, способы перевода из прямой речи в косвенную, введение понятия «косвенная речь», введение понятия «прямая речь», разница между глаголами say/tell.

Пояснения:

Косвенная речь, это пересказ смысла предложения.

Перевод из прямой речи в косвенную речь в случае, если вводный глагол стоит в прошедшем времени осуществляется следующим образом:

Present Simple changes into Past Simple;

e.g. “I go to school every day”, said Jim. changes into: Jim said, that he went to school every day.

Present Perfect changes into Past Perfect;

e.g. “I have read a book”, said Jim changes into Jim said, that he had read a book.

Present Continuous changes into Past Continuous;

e.g. “I’m reading a book now”, said Jim. changes into Jim said, that he was reading a book at that moment.

Past Simple changes into Past Perfect;

e.g. “I went to school yesterday”, said Jim. changes into Jim said, that he had gone to school the day before.

Future Simple changes into would + V1.

e.g. “I will go to school tomorrow”, Jim said changes into Jim said, that he would go to school the next day.

Необходимо помнить, что индикаторы места и времени тоже меняются.

Now – then
Here – there
Today – that day
Next week –the following week
Yesterday – the day before
This day – that day
Ago – before

Основное содержание урока

M: John, wait.

J: Hello, Marry! What happened?

M: Mrs Clark wanted me to tell you that you are in trouble.

J: Why?

M: It’s something about your Biology report.

J: Oh, my God! I have completely forgotten about it! Thanks, Marry!

M: You are welcome.

Usually communication between two people takes place directly. This kind of communication is called “direct speech”.

But sometimes we have no opportunity of speaking to the person we need. So we have to retell the information to another person. This kind of communication is called “indirect speech”.

Think about 5 examples when you might need reported speech

We can say something to somebody and we can tell somebody something. Let’s have a look at some fixed phrases and expressions where we can use tell and say in the reported speech.

Say: a prayer, a few words, hello, so.

Tell: a story, a secret, the truth, a lie, the time, a joke.

We need to remember that if the introductory verb is in the past, we should follow the rules of sequence of tenses. Let’s have a closer look.

If the sentence in the direct speech is in the Present Simple, in the reported speech this sentence will be in the Past Simple.

In short:

Present Simple changes into Past Simple;

e.g. “I go to school every day”, said Jim. changes into: Jim said, that he went to school every day.

Present Perfect changes into Past Perfect;

e.g. “I have read a book”, said Jim changes into Jim said, that he had read a book.

Present Continuous changes into Past Continuous;

e.g. “I’m reading a book now”, said Jim. changes into Jim said, that he was reading a book at that moment.

Past Simple changes into Past Perfect;

e.g. “I went to school yesterday”, said Jim. changes into Jim said, that he had gone to school the day before.

Future Simple changes into would + V1.

e.g. “I will go to school tomorrow”, Jim said changes into Jim said, that he would go to school the next day.

Turn the sentence: “He goes to school every day”, said Anna. into reported speech.

We should also remember that we cannot leave the time indicators unchanged.

Now – then
Here – there
Today – that day
Next week –the following week
Yesterday – the day before
This day – that day
Ago – before
