REPORTED SPEECH | INDIRECT SPEECH | DIRECT SPEECH - statements, questions, commands

REPORTED SPEECH | INDIRECT SPEECH | DIRECT SPEECH

Hi Everyone,

In today’s lesson, let’s look at REPORTED SPEECH (aka INDIRECT SPEECH) in detail.

We’ll look at:
1. direct speech
2. backshifting (what???)
3. reporting verbs
4. modal verbs
5. reported questions
6. reported commands

One of the most important aspects of reported speech is ‘backshifting’.
This is moving a tense one step backwards. (I’ll leave a list for you below!)

Thank you so much for watching this video and don't forget to leave me a comment with an example sentence!

🔥COMMON QUESTIONS: Arnel, how do you edit your videos? What software do you use?

I use a combination of these two tools:

For video editing / screen recording

For images / graphics / stock videos / thumbnails:

(These are both affiliate links. I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you 💜.)

I've used both these tools since day 1. If you go to my very first YouTube videos, you'll see my progression from then until now. You can do it too!

✉️Let me know in the comments or send me a direct Instagram message (arnelseverydayenglish) if you want me to make a video lesson on how I create, edit and design my lessons. If enough people are interested, I'll definitely make one for you guys!

Your way of explanation is easily understood. You have got a real talent of teaching your knowledge. Teaching English is tough but you make it simple. You rock!

[Catskea]

You are a lifesaver! As an ESL teacher (Thailand) I find your style simple, (marvelous because some overcomplicate grammar and scare the daylights out of the kids) practical, entertaining, logical (like even I have epiphanies) you're my rock star!

Teaching is a gift, and you, Arnel, are exercising it wonderfully. It's so refreshing to watch your videos and notice how much effort you put to elaborate them, and at the same time, you're so objective and precise. God bless.

She has amazing video editing skills. She should call herself "the master of After Effects". Brilliant!
