Learn English Grammar: DIRECT & INDIRECT SPEECH (REPORTED SPEECH)

What’s the difference between DIRECT and INDIRECT/REPORTED speech? In this grammar lesson, you will learn how these types of sentences are constructed, with lots of examples to illustrate. I’ll also show how there is usually a difference of verb tense between the two. Both forms are used in everyday life, in speaking and in writing, so it’s well worth getting to know how they work. And after watching the video, you can double-check your understanding by trying the quiz over on www.engvid.com/learn-english-...

    In Russian there is no sequence of tenses, but after English I started to use it in Russian too uncontiously and I get corrected by others. If I say in Russian, "She said her name was ...", Russian speakers would correct me, "She said her name IS ... as she is still alive". Imagine the difference.

    Hello Gill, great lesson as always thanks! This is how I was taught. I'm 49 year-old from Sweden. However I find that younger people often get confused by quotation marks in text. That is because the use of air quotes, which is making quotation marks in the air to indicate irony, sarcasm or derision. If you say that someone is a legend and make air quotes with your fingers before saying legend it means that the person is not a legend. Question is the another way of writing question marks in order to seperate them from air quotes?
