$GRAMMAR Reporting What People Said
ID: l3-s26
INTRO: You just heard messages passed along. Here's the pattern behind them, in three short cards.
CARD: To report what someone said, use **said (that)** plus a clause. This is called indirect speech.
{Tom said that he knew the answer.}
CARD: The present tense verb in direct speech changes to the **past tense**, and the pronouns change too.
{I know the answer.}
{Tom said that he knew the answer.}
CARD: The conjunction **that** is sometimes left out.
{Tom said he knew the answer.}
SUMMARY:
| DIRECT SPEECH (present tense) | INDIRECT SPEECH (past tense) |
|---|---|
| **Tom:** I know the answer. | Tom said (that) he knew the answer. |
