    There are rules when changing the


    tense of verb when converting a
    direct speech into indirect speech.

    Direct speech: Present simple


    She said, "It is cold."

    Try to convert it class. Indirect speech: Past simple


    She said it was cold.
    (the teacher will convert it through
    paper strips)
    D.S: Present continuous
    She said, "I'm teaching English online."

    convert it in front) She said she was teaching English online.

    D.S: Present perfect simple I.S: Past perfect simple


    She said, "I've been on the web since She said she had been on the web since

    a direct speech. She said, "I was teaching earlier."

    D.S: Past perfect


    She said, "The lesson had already
    started when he arrived."
    I.S: Past perfect
    NO CHANGE - She said the lesson
    had already started when he arrived.
    D.S: Past perfect continuous
    She said, "I'd already been teaching
    for five minutes."
    I.S: Past perfect continuous
    NO CHANGE - She said she'd already
    been teaching for five minutes.

    Modal verb forms also sometimes


    change:

    Direct speech: will


    She said, "I'll teach English online
    tomorrow."
    Indirect speech: would
    She said she would teach English
    online tomorrow.

    Try to convert the following:

    D.I: can I.S: could


    She said, "I can teach English online." She said she could teach English online.

    D.S: must
    She said, "I must have a computer to
    teach English online."

    Convert the following into Direct

    browser. She said, "May I open a new browser?"

    Note: There is no change to; could,


    would, should, might and ought to.

    Direct speech
    "I might go to the cinema", he said.
    Indirect speech
    He said he might go to the cinema.

    Are we clear with Direct and Indirect


    speech?

    Is there any question? None maam.

    Very Good Class!

    C, Application
    Now let us proceed to your activity.

    I will group you into 2 groups.


    This side will be the group 1 and the
    other side will be the Group 2.

    Group 1 will read the speech in front


    and the Group 2 will serve as the
    audience. Later, you will exchange
    roles.
