Dear Jamie Madam,
I have been watching your grammar videos since you started your channel and now I am at intermediate level. I would like to thank you. I do not have word to explain your gratefulness. I haven't seen teacher like you on YouTube. You taught me almost all the grammar without any cost. I see many teachers on YouTube. They teach but while teaching they advertise their courses. But you are different than those. You teaches each and every point with clear explanation. I recommend this channel to my other friends. I wish this channel grow fast like English with Vanessa and English with Lucy.

Excellent Jamie! I studied these during my school days and have almost forgotten the various changes required when converting direct speech to reported one! Your way of teaching is excellent - makes difficult aspects easily understandable! Great help for those who like to write a lot - like myself! Thanks a lot! Sajjad in Sweden.

This is very helpful explanation. Thank you professor!

Do you know why I like your grammar courses the best? Because It seems very logically, more about emphasizing the logic of the rules, very clear routes to understand, instead of just remember it that easily forgotten. After I spent triple video time followed your expressions, I find out I can retell every usage situation. It's more efficient to understand than to memorize.

You are the best teacher. Thank you very much❤

I like your teaching style so much. Keep it up, Jamie!

What a wonderful teacher! Kudos to you.

[cristinamartinez]

Thank you for an excellent explanation. Do these indirect speech rules you went over apply to any statement with an embedded question to it, even though it may not be reporting anything anybody said? For example, if I say: "I am trying to understand how things came to be", is that correct? Or should I say instead: "I am trying to understand how did things come to be"? Thank you in advance for your kind reply.

Good morning teacher.Could you please clarify a doubt.I would be grateful if you could." In direct speech if we use"must not" what will be its equivalent in indirect speech? Example: She said to her children"You must not go to the park ".Many teachers miss teaching this one resulting in many students getting confused while taking their examinations. Please convert the above sentence into indirect speech.

You are a great teacher really I studied very deeply.❤
