Let's review some of the language we've learned so far?

Reported Speech

Listen and write what the people said. Use reported speech.

Reported Speech

• Sometimes someone says a sentence, for example "I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later, maybe we want to tell someone else what the first person said.

• When the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the tenses in the reported speech:

• Present Simple > Past Simple (e.g. I like ice cream > She said (that) she liked ice cream.)
