REPORTED SPEECH I:Statements By Antonio Romero
SUMMARY
It is used to say what another person has said. There are two types:  Direct speech (using his/her own words):  Mary said, 'I'm going to the beach this weekend.'  Reported speech (free discourse, not using his/her own words):  Mary said (that) she was going to the beach that weekend.  REPORTED SPEECH
	As you can see, there are certain changes to be made when using reported speech:  Tenses. Time and place expressions. Pronouns. CHANGES ‘I’mgoingtothebeachtomorrow’ She / He saidthatshewasgoingtothebeachthenextday.
Tenses You can see now how the different verbal tenses change in reported speech:
Modal verbs
Time and place
You can use logic to see the changes. Thus, if you have doubts, remember the following associations:  Pronouns
We normally use the verbs say and tell. The difference between them is that say can be used without object (or to + object) and tell is always used with the object:  He told me that she knew it.  He said (to me) that she knew it.  INTRODUCTORY VERBS
COMMANDS Howabout if we want to report commands? Have a look at these ones:  'Shut up, boys!'  The teacher asked us to shut up.  'Don't speak, boys!‘ The teacher asked us not to speak.  As you can see, the imperative tense has no subject in English and the verb is used in infinitive without to. Thus, if you want to report it, you have to use a to infinitive(or not to-infinitive) as in the examples above.  Shut up!!!!
QUESTIONS Remember there are two types of questions:  Yes / No questions: the answer is always 'yes' or 'no', starting with a verb:  'Do you like football?' 'Yes, I do.'  'Were you at home last night?' 'No, I wasn't.'  Whquestions: the answer depends on the interrogative pronoun:  'Where did you go?' 'I went to the beach.'  'How often do you play football?' 'I play football once a week.'
As you can see, there are changes as in statements, but we need the verb ASK and include IF. Keep in mind that the word order has a statement structure:  'Doyoulikefootball?', he asked me.  	He asked meifIlikedfootball. 'Areyou at home?', he asked me. 'No, I'm not', I answered.  	He asked meifIwas at home and I answered I was not.  Yes-No questions Do youlikeEnglish?
In these cases, there is also a shift in word order and tenses also change. However, IF is substituted by the interrogative pronoun given. Have a look at these examples:     'Whereare you going?', he asked me. He asked mewhereIwas going Wh- questions What time isit?
SUGGESTIONS 'Let's go to the park!'  'Why don't we visit her?'  'Shall we stay longer?'  In these cases, the structure is specific:  SUBJECT + SUGGESTED THAT + SUBJECT+ VERB IN PAST.     'Let's go to the park!'  He suggested that we went to the park.  'Why don't we visit her?'  She suggested that we visited her.  'Shall we stay longer?'  He suggested that we stayed longer.
