REPORTED SPEECH “Direct Speech” is the exact words someone said. We use quotation marks (“ “) in direct speech. Reported/Indirect Speech is the exact meaning of what someone said but not the exact words. When the introductory verb is in the past, tenses change into their past degrees. (would, could, should, ought to, might) don’t change in reported speech. When the introductory verb is in present and future or when the sentence expresses something which is always true (general truth) or historical events, tenses don’t change.
Example “I don’t like tennis.” Ayşe says …… (present) Ayşe says she doesn’t like tennis. “Edison invented electric bulb.” The teacher said … (historical event) The teacher said (that) Edison invented electric bulb. “Water freezes in 0 centigrade degree.” My father said …... (general truth) My father said (that) water freezes in 0 centigrade degree. In Reported Speech; personal pronouns, possessive adjectives, possessive pronouns change according to the gender of the person who says and who is said.
SAY---- TELL (introductory verbs) “Tell” is always followed by a personal object Ex: Ayşe told me ……………. We use “tell” without the preposition “to” Ex: Jack told me …………. (not) Jack told to me ……….. “Say” is used with or without a personal object. If it is used with a personal object, it is always followed by the preposition “to”. Ex: Ali said to me …………. Ali said ………………... “Tell” is used in expressions such as: Tell the truth, tell a lie, tell a secret, tell a story, tell the time, tell sb the way…… “Say” is used in expressions such as: Say good morning/evening, say something …………..

REPORTED QUESTIONS We use “ask” or “want to know” in reported questions. In reported questions, the verb is in the affirmative and the question mark (?) is omitted. Tenses, pronouns and time expressions change as in the statements. Ex: ”Are you working tomorrow?” Paul asked her Paul asked her if she was working the following day. When the direct question begins with an auxiliary verb (am, did, have…) or a modal verb (can, may…), the reported question begins with if or whether. Ex: ”Can you speak French?” they asked me They asked me if/whether I could speak French.

Ex: ”Why are you late?” Mother asked me Mother asked me why I was late.
