Reported speech
Reported Speech is used to report what someone said. When we use reported speech, we are usually talking about the past. So, verbs usually change to the past in reported speech. (Haryanti, 2000: 31).
They are two ways of relating what a person has said:
1. Direct Speech
In direct speech we repeat the original speaker’s exact words.
Example: He said, ‘ I have lost my umbrella.’
2. Indirect (Reported) Speech
In indirect speech we give the exact meaning of a remark or a speech, without necessarily using the speaker’s exact words.
Example: He said (that) he had lost his umbrella
The Rules of Reported Speech
1. When we use reported speech, the main verb of the sentence is usually past.
Example:
Tom said that he was feeling ill.
I told her that I didn’t have any money.
2. In general, the present form in direct speech changes to the past form in reported speech
Example:
Direct Judy: My parents are very well.
Reported Judy said that her parents were very well.
3. In general, the past simple form in direct speech changes to the past perfect in reported speech.
Example:
Direct Tom said: ‘I woke up feeling ill, so I didn’t go to work.
Reported Tom said (that) he had woken up feeling ill, so he hadn’t gone to work
The Kind of Reported Speech
There are many kinds of reported speech:
1. Reported Statement
Reported statement uses the reporting verb ‘that’, but ‘that’ is optional, so it is placed in bracket.
Example:
Quoted Statement She said, ‘I watch TV everyday.
Reported Statement She said (that) she watched TV everyday.
2. Reported Imperative
Reported Imperative is used to report invitation or command from someone to other people.
Example :
Quoted Imperative : Jamal said, ‘Please come to my party’.
Reported Imperative : Jamal invited me to come to his party.
Note :
In the reporterd Imperative, verb follows by object (pro) noun and then followed by infinitive phrase.
The following verbs is always used in reported imperative:
Advice - permit - invite
Ask - encourage - order
Remind - tell - warn
3. Reported Question
Reported Question is used to report questions. The interrogative form of the verb changes to the affimative form, the question mark (?) is therefore omitted in reported speech.
Example:
Quoted Question : He said, ‘Where does she live?’
Reported Question : He asked where she lived.
4. Reported Exclamation
Reported Exclamation is reporting of someone’s feeling or see.
Example:
Quoted Exclamation : He said, ‘What a dreadful thing!’
Reported Exclamation : He said that it was a dreadful thing.
Direct and indirect speech
1) Direct and indirect speech differ in the changes made to pronouns, tenses, temporal words and question forms.
2) In indirect speech, pronouns change to reflect the speaker rather than listener, tenses backshift, words like "this" become "that", and questions are reported with if/whether for yes/no questions and the wh- word for wh- questions.
3) Modals, the present/future tense of the original speaker, and wh- questions are transformed following set rules while maintaining the original meaning.

The document discusses reported speech, also known as indirect speech. It explains that reported speech is used to retell what someone said without using their exact words. Several changes must be made, including changing verb tenses and time/place expressions. Modal verbs and pronouns may also need to be altered. Introductory verbs like "say" and "tell" are commonly used. Examples are provided for how different types of statements, questions, commands, and suggestions would be reported.
English review adverbs
The document discusses different types of adverbs and how they are used. It explains that adverbs can indicate place, time, manner, frequency, instance, and intensify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It provides examples of common adverbs for each category and their typical placement in sentences. The document also covers forming adverbs from adjectives and comparing adverbs of manner.
Direct indirect
Direct and indirect speech are two ways of reporting what someone has said. Direct speech uses quotation marks to report the exact words. Indirect speech does not use quotation marks and makes certain changes to reflect that it is a report of what was said rather than the exact words. Some key changes in indirect speech include changing pronouns, adverbs of time and place, and verb tenses. Indirect speech can also add conjunctions like "if" or "whether" for yes/no questions or retain question words for questions introduced with interrogative words.

Reported Speech 1
The document discusses reported speech, which is when someone reports or retells what another person said. It explains that in reported speech, verb tenses change depending on when the reporting verb is, pronouns and time expressions also change, and there are different rules for reporting statements, questions, commands, and suggestions.
Reported speech carmen
There are two main ways to report what someone says: direct speech and indirect or reported speech. Reported speech involves changing direct quotes into an indirect version by removing quotation marks, changing verb tenses and pronouns, and modifying words like adverbs of time and place. The document provides examples of how direct quotes are changed when converting to reported speech, including changes to verb tenses, pronouns, questions, statements and other grammatical aspects.
Reported speech
The document discusses how to report statements, questions, and requests that were spoken by someone else. It explains that when reporting speech, verb tenses must change to the past tense. Time, place, and pronouns may also need to change. Yes/no questions are reported using "if/whether" and wh- questions use the wh- word. Requests can be reported using "told to" for positive requests and "told not to" for negative requests.

Reported Speech
We use reported speech to tell someone else what a person said earlier. When reporting a past statement, the tense of the original verb shifts back one tense. Pronouns and possessive adjectives also change in reported speech. Time and place expressions often change as well, with words like "today" becoming "that day". Common reporting verbs include say, tell, admit, deny, suggest, and announce.

Indirect speech does not use quotation marks and makes certain changes to reflect that it is a report of what was said rather than the exact words. Some key changes in indirect speech include changing pronouns, adverbs of time and place, and verb tenses. Questions are usually reported before an auxiliary verb using "if/whether" and before question words using the question word as the conjunction.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
