Ana Paula

I don’t agree with the answer of the 8th question of the quiz. ” Rosaline said she would be right back”. Wouldn’t it be ‘ Rasaline said THAT she wolud be right back”

Jorge

You’d be right, but it’s okay to leave out the “that”.

I need to practice a little more !
Thank you , teacher.
Excellent lesson and nice video. :)

Hi Alex,
I have a question
Could I say the reported speech in the present?
For example:
Maria: It’s hot
Maria said to me that it’s hot

or in the future

Maria: I’m going to Mexico tomorrow
Maria said to me that she’s going to Mexico tomorrow.

Samantha

Hi Samantha,

The tense in reported speech is one tense back in time from the tense in Quoted speech.
e.g;
Maria: it is hot.
Reported: Maria said to me that it was hot.

Maria: I am going to Mexico tomorrow.
Reported: Maria said to me that she was going to Mexico tomorrow.

However, often if the speaker is reporting something soon after it has been said, there is no change in the verb tense. This is also true if the reported statement is a general truth.
e.g;
Quoted: “The capital of Canada is Ottawa.”

Reported: Alex said that the capital of Canada is Ottawa.
:)

mursaleen45

yes it is, we have to move back one tense. how ever, we have to convert:” tomorrow” to ” the next/following day” also when we use reported speech. in conclusion, all the adverb of time need to be chaged to the write form. see ya!

turtlecub

hi everyone, I love your lesson, Alex. By the way, I am looking for someone to practise english through ” skype and yahoo”. If everyone have time, please feel free to add me as your friend, then we would have some conversations. my skype and yahoo id: turtle_cub2000. Please leave a message!. thanks

some thing about noun

aliakbar

I’m from Sri Lanka. Thanks a lot Alex. These English lessons are great for me. I’d also like to ask you a question.
When we ask a question to know, what somebody is doing. Like schooling, doing a job etc. In this type of question, what’s the tense, we should use ? Present simple or Present progressive. As a eg- 1. What do you do? 2. What are you doing?

kasun dharmasena

I want to say that is it a grat lesson! :)

Gantikus

Rosalinde: “I’ll be right back.”
Rosalinde said she would be right back.
why she said??? if she talk to me directly

leobsas2000

Hi Leo,
If Rosalinde had talked to you directly, the third answer would have to be: “Rosalinde told ME she would be right back.”
So, the first option is the only one that is correct.

I hope I could help !!!

Best wishes!

Cristina

Mr. alex said to us how to use said or told in speaking.
Is it right?
I think it is so easy after this lesson.

Hi Alex, I want like to ask why use ‘to’ after can use ‘ing’, for example: ‘is restricted to being mere. what kind of grammer in use and what is the condition for this. thank you

chiwai1021

teacher please upload again more leassons.. i am still confuse about english language.. please teach to me about the words bellow :
slow – slowlly
carefull – carefully
and more..
what is deferent about it..

obby

Hi Obby, what I know about those adjectives is that we add (LY) to the adjectives to describe how a person did, does or is doing something (an action) for example: I always do my homework carefully and that is why I always get good grades. (In this example I am using the Manner adverb to describe how I do something, like the way I do something)

I love being a careful person.( in this 2nd example I am describing the person I am with an adjective)

garvit arora

Great ,great
thanks Alex

ABRAR

Hi Alex, thanks for the lesson! I wanted to ask if there is a difference in meaning between “I like the way you speak” and “I like the way you talk”, and if they both are correct. I know that “to speak” is used when one person is speaking and the others are listening, and “to talk” is used when there is a conversation taking place between two people or more.

Another confusing thing is that I always thought it is correct to say to speak WITH and to talk TO, but very often I hear people say, “May I speak to…” or “talk with”. So which one is correct or what does it depend on if these prepositions are interchangeable? Please, help me understand! Thanks!

iriri

Thanks Alex.
However, I am still not very clear about the usage
For E.g: My answer was Third in below case whereas correct answer was First. Unable to understand:

Rosalinde: “I’ll be right back.”
Rosalinde said she would be right back.
Rosalinde said me she would be right back.
Rosalinde told she would be right back.
Rosalinde told to me that she would be right back.

Great video Mr.. 10/10 in my case,but i think you should explain beginners thats in reporetd speeches ,sometimes the modal changes can/could , will/ would and others dont change…just that… good luck Mr…

Thanks for all of your support, guys!

For reporting questions we usually use the verb “ask.”

“He asked me who/what/where/when/why/how/which…”

Alex

I understood the difference between ‘say’ and ‘tell’. But, I am not still clear about the use of ‘that’ in reported speech. Also, about the use of past tense and present tense in reported speech. It would be better if Alex or some other teacher elaborate on this subject. Thanks a lot to engVid.

very interesting theme.. could you tell more information about reported speech.. Thank you

dvjkaktus

Hi Teacher Alex,
How have you been?

I’m a big fan of you…absolutely you are a good Teacher.

I would like to confirm with you about these phrases below.

When we have a statement in the present we need to report this in the past, Don’t we?

I know that there is no change if we report something that is truth, however I had this doubt about these sentences because I’m not sure if these are the truth.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Socrates said me that the unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates said to me that the unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates told me that the unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living.

I guess that is the correct response for this case is:
Socrates said that the unexamined life was not worth living.

Mahatma Ghandi: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

Ghandi said that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Ghandi told that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Ghandi told me that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Ghandi said me that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

I guess that is the correct response for this case is:
Ghandi said that an eye for an eye made the whole world blind.

Thank you in advance to help me out and if I’m wrong, could you please send me the explanation about that just to understand better all possibility of reported speech.

bashar077

Thanks Alex, now I understand it.your free lessons help me more then some english courses that I had to pay for them.i have one problem with english.i know many difficult words but when I speak I always use the same simple ones.i assume i got this problem because when I speak I still think in my mother language.another think when we speak we have no time to thing long time. Could you pls give me some advice what i suppose to do to be a better speaker.thank you in advance.

Evik

Thanks for your great teaching!
I got an idea how to use correctly using say and tell from now on. Well, it was always confusing, but it would be much easier when I need to say something in reported speech!

very well explained, I do have a question though. when do you use “THAT” after tell???? for example, in the second one, I got it correct “Mathilde told me THAT she was worried about the next day exam,however, I didn’t get correct the 6th “ron told me THAT I should show up early” I chose that one, but it wasn’t correct, the right one was: Ron told me I should show up early”. I hope you can explain that.
congratulations for such a great job you do

***Jack told everybody that if they couldn’t live together, they were going to die alone.
***Jack told me that if they couldn’t live together, they were going to die alone.

Beatriz18

Hi Alex, I surprisingly made 10 correct. And it is surpising, coz sentences 3,4,and 7 have their dependent parts in the present simple. Is it because those sentences are the quotations of the famoous people so the they emhpasize some ideas?
