REPORTED SPEECH
correcta When do we use reported speech? Sometimes someone says a sentence, for example "I'm going to the cinema tonight".
Puntúa 35,00 Later, maybe we want to tell someone else what the rst person said. Let's see the video to clarify this better:
sobre 50,00

Reported Speech

 So, this is how it works:

We use a 'reporting verb' like 'say' or 'tell'. If this verb is in the present tense, it's easy. We just put 'she says' and then the
sentence:
Direct speech: “I like ice cream”.
Reported speech: She says (that) she likes ice cream.

We don't need to change the tense, though probably we do need to change the 'person' from 'I' to 'she', for example. We
also may need to change words like 'my' and 'your'.

(As I'm sure you know, often, we can choose if we want to use 'that' or not in English. I've put it in brackets () to show that
it's optional. It's exactly the same if you use 'that' or if you don't use 'that'.)
But, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the tenses in the reported speech:

Direct speech: “I like ice cream”.

Reported speech: She said (that) she liked ice cream.

Here is a chart that might help you to understand the changes that must be done in order to create sentences using the
reported speech. Remember you can use either "say" or "tell" to form the reported speech:

Tense Direct Speech Reported Speech

She said (that) she liked ice

present simple “I like ice cream”
cream.

Let's practice:
Change the direct speech into reported speech.
Use 'she said' at the beginning of each answer. It's the same day, so you don't need to change the time expressions.
Please be careful with spelling and do not use contractions. Don't forget to use punctuation in your answer as well as
capital letter.
For example: "He works in a bank": She said that he worked in a bank.

"We went out last night":   She said that they had gone out last night. 

"I'm coming":   She said that she was coming. 

"I was waiting for the bus when he arrived":   She said that she was waiting for the bus whenhe arrived. 

"I didn't go to the party":   She said that she did not go had not gone to the party. 

"I can help you tomorrow":   She said that she could help me tomorrow. 

 
Choose the correct option to change the sentences into the reported
speech:
"Lucy will come later":   She said that Lucy would come later 

"I don't like chocolate":   David told me that he didn't like chocolate 

"I visited my parents".   She said that she had visited her parents 

"He could read when he was three".   He said that he could read when he was three 

TAG QUESTIONS
correcta  Tag questions are similar to negative questions, since they are used when someone thinks she / he knows the answer
Puntúa 22,50 and wants con rmation. The form of tag questions is quite different from the form of negative questions, however.
sobre 25,00
There are two main types of tag questions--one for a rmative statements and one for negative statements. Both consist
of the statement (a rmative or negative), plus a short ending (the "tag") and a question mark.
Let's see the following video:

English lesson- Using QUESTION TAGS in English- gramátic…

gramátic…

So let's see some examples:

SIMPLE
NORMAL QUESTION TAG QUESTION
SENTENCE

John likes Does John like John likes chocolate, doesn't

chocolate chocolate? he?

Susan spoke to Did Susan speak to Susan spoke to Jenny, didn't

Jenny. Jenny? she?

They are teachers. Are they teachers? They are teachers, are they?

We were very We were very happy, weren't

Were we very happy?
happy. we?
 

Remember this:
With a rmative sentences we use negative tag questions.
With negative sentences we use a rmative tag questions.

Let's practice!!!
Put the following question tags in to the correct gaps. Each question
tag is used only once. Be careful with spelling.
isn't it?/      has he?/       were you?/          aren't you?/    was she?/         doesn't he?/        do
