English language so students come here from all over the world to study English and my co-worker Sean he is also a teacher here so let's get started we had a we had a request a request a request right somebody asked asked me on our Facebook group she said I think her name was Madeleine she said you know mark I I she said well let me let me do let me do this here she said she didn't understand reported speech very well yeah she said she didn't understand reported speech very well and she asked me to teach it in today's class so you can do that guys that's what's so cool about the internet you can join our Facebook group Zac we'll put the link there Madeleine Velasquez it's me yes where are you Madeleine are you in Venezuela I think you're in Venezuela right anyways Madeleine this class is for you thank you for the request repetition Rosa I don't know what you mean anyways let's get started she said she didn't understand reported speech very well well actually this sentence has the grammar that we're going to study today she said she didn't understand reported speech very well now you guys you know my my class is usually at an intermediate level intermediate level so I know we have some more advanced students a little bit higher level students so if you have learned some more advanced rules of reported speech that's great I'm not going to talk about the more advanced things today do you guys understand what I'm saying advanced I'm not advanced means really high level okay I'm not going to I'm not going to talk about the the high level stuff today so sometimes we don't use reported speech and I'm not going to talk about that today if you guys want me to I can I can talk about it next week but today I'm going to teach you the intermediate level rules for reported speech okay the the most important rules for for reported speech okay so let's go back to this sentence she said she didn't understand reported speech very well now reported speech means we use special grammar to talk about to talk about what did someone say what did someone say now when we when we talk about what did someone say actually in English we we have two choices we have two choices okay if if I want to talk about what did someone say okay we have two choices we have something called direct speech speech just means speak okay and then we have reported speech now which one which one is really really easy well direct speech is super easy okay direct speech you guys probably have studied direct speech direct speech means we do not change the words we do not change a person's words okay we do not change them at all okay so Madelyn Velasquez hopefully you're still there how are you how are you let me know in in in in the chat Madelyn how are you right let me know Emilio hey how's it going we're Amelia where where are you from Emilio where are you from um vikrum vikrum is from somewhere I saw somewhere KY sorry K sorry K sorry okay so we have Madeline's answer in the next can you change the time of lecture please because we're fasting yes some people are Muslim but not everybody and a lot of people and our students are not fasting so it's difficult to change our lessons we're going to keep them at this time and remember Ramadan is not forever so so it'll be easier in in July for you okay I always pronounce a direct speech I didn't know that it can be pronounced like in front well Rosa let's let's let's keep talking so Madeline if you guys look at the YouTube chat guys if you're on Facebook come to youtube right come to you - I asked Madeline Madeline how are you in Madeline so Madeline remember Madeline is the person that asked me to do this class Madeline I hope that's spelling of your name let me yeah it is maybe the pronunciation is different in English I don't know she said this I am great okay so here is here's Madeline's answer I am great okay so direct speech means we say Madeline's words okay we don't change her words and also with direct speech we need quotations quotations in in English maybe you guys I don't know have seen this but we do this right we do this well these are called quotation marks not mark but marks okay these are called quotations and here I'll just write this word here quotation marks there we go okay these are called quotation marks okay so let's let's talk about what Madeline said Madeline said okay and then what we do is usually we use a comma space we always need a space after a comma a lot of students make mistakes about this but this is a really simple rule if you have a comma you need a space after the comma not before the comma gosh I see so many mistakes about this on the Facebook group or in my class with writing come on guys this is an easy rule Madeleine said no space comma space and then we start the quotation King and we don't change her words I am great now how do we finish this do we do the quotation first in the period or what do we do the period and then the quotation well what do you guys think in the YouTube chat what do you think do we do period quotation or quotation period let me know in the YouTube chat and I'll wait to give you the answer mo toki Tom Oh Daesan my old student how you doing buddy long time no long time No long time no see well I can't see you maybe a long time no chat moto key if you are going to stay for the class I know it's

Ann welcome back yomaira is here so what's first well I'm going to trust Mary on because Mary Ann's always right we put the period first and the quotation okay now look no space no space okay so this is called direct speech direct speech usually we use this verb said we don't say told we say said okay now ask me a question guys ask me a question in the YouTube chat ask me a question anything is okay well not anything but but ask me a question about maybe ask me a question about my baby or ask me a question about Vancouver or ask me a question about my school anything I don't care I just need

remember here we have a period no space and quotation well questions a little bit different we just need a question mark no space quotation okay he asked how old are you he asked how old are you now you know like I said like I said today's class we're just going to talk about the basic rules okay we're not going to study advanced things okay Rosa you're you're a higher level student so you know maybe you have studied this before but let's just let's just focus on the basic rules right now so direct speech basic rules right let's just review don't chain well okay let's try again don't change the words okay we would use these verbs say and ask example he said comma quotation but a bit a bit about right do-do-do-do-do-do-do to do marathi a question for marathi why did you not choose a grammar topic today why did I not choose because Madeleine asked me to teach this you guys you guys if you have any anything you want to teach me join the facebook facebook group and ask me there you

behind me cool pasta Thanks thanks for your support so that's direct speech direct speech is super easy but unfortunately in English we have another way to talk about what did somebody say we use reported speech now what is reported speech let's let's let's take a look at that sentence again can anybody can anybody in the YouTube chat can anybody write this and reported speech so maybe at U is you right you rose I love you Mariana I love you Paz Cola I love you Marathi I love you Allah I love you right blue guitar 77 I love you right so what what did Mark say what can you guys use reported speech before before I teach you reported speech let's see what what do you know what do you know okay Alejandra he said that he'll uh okay mark said that he would love you untrusting hey Omar how are you doing from Jeddah right what did he what do you say for Ramadan Ramadan Mubarak Omar you're feeling left out Zak he said that he loved you okay now Abdul creme that's direct speech remember use a capital what's before I forget Abdul cram we didn't talk about this but guys in your quotation use capital letters okay he said I love you okay but when you use when you use different words right example he said he said the water right you see we use a capital here okay all right so here here is here is the problem now I see a lot of students are changing changing the verb so with reported speech number one we need to change the tense of the verb we need to change the tense of the verb okay tense means the the time you guys we're going to talk about tenses a lot today so number one we have to change the tense of the verb and number two we have to change the pronouns I you he she mark we have to we have to change the pronouns okay so reported speech we have two things to think about and actually we have another thing to think about sometimes we have to change the time words okay so reported speech we have to think about different changes now reported speech we we can change the person's words we can change the person's words remember direct speech we don't whoops we don't change the person's words I know my head is there I'm going to put it up here but reported speech reported speech we we we need to change the person's words okay we don't we don't with reported speech we don't really we don't care about the words so much we care about the meaning okay the meaning is important now also with reported speech we do not use quotations we do not use quotations and we do not need commas okay okay yes Madeline you're right you're right simple present teint changes to simple past so Madeline is a little bit ahead of us she's talking about tenses okay but before I talk about that Madeline guys look at this again we do not need quotations and we do not need comma whoops we do not need commas with reported speech is that clear so I'm going to go back up in the YouTube chat Oh iris beautiful perfect sentence yeah Mariana perfect sentence mark mark said that he loves me perfect sentence yo mera okay now off that's direct speech Abdul claim that's direct speech but Abdul cram you have some mistakes with with your punctuation with spaces okay let's let's just take that one more time I know I'm going back but I just want to fix your mistakes so Abdul creme wrote this he loved you okay what are the mistakes here well quotations this is direct speech right so we need a comma after said we have no spaces here and finally we need a capital here okay finally another mistake direct speech Abdul cram direct speech this means this means don't change the words okay Abdul crammed there you go your sentence it's okay now let's go back to reported speech now we need to change the sentences now we have a lot of high-level students in this class Mary Ann for example I think yome era is pretty high level if you guys can understand Sean's classes well you're you congratulations you speak English really really well so Mary Ann and yo Mehra understand understand you know sometimes we don't need to change the tenses but in today's class let's just learn the basic rules okay the basic rules tenses English has 12 tenses probably five or six of them are really really important and you guys have studied now I always say present simple some people say simple present I don't know whatever it doesn't matter present simple example he plays soccer he plays soccer in reported speech we need to change present simple to past simple like Madeline said right so he plays soccer what is the past simple of he plays guys help me in this class please let me know in the chat what is the past simple of he plays soccer what is the past simple of he plays soccer please change that hey Victoria how are you today how's Taiwan come to the YouTube YouTube video ya played ok so he played soccer ok so guys please write a reported speech sentence remember reported speech no quotations no commas no capital letters right so I play soccer I play soccer what did Mark say what did Mark say what he said that okay look at Joseph's beautiful almost beautiful sentence because he has no capital letters no period but the grammar is good Joseph a good job but I play soccer look at Joe so a sentence he said no comma we only use commas with direct speech okay no okay now we have that that that okay with reported speech we can say that whoops we can say that it's not necessary but we can say it okay lots of good answers Allah that's direct speech we're not using direct speech right now mr. white is that a is that a Breaking Bad reference or is your name actually mr. mr. white yeah lots of good answers I'm going to choose iris our eat I don't know how do you say that in Spanish Zack how do you say iris in Spanish IDI CDs in English is very different iris yeah he said he played soccer yeah now that is not necessary okay we use that you can use that if it's not a question no I just like how do you say iris is it Eadie's is that correct I'm a Breaking Bad huge fan you should say I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan do you guys know Breaking Bad Merion do you know Breaking Bad Breaking Bad is like a really famous TV show it's finished now but it was it's a very big part of English culture Breaking Bad yeah okay Edie's okay so my Spanish is good so Madeleine yes I do speaks about it okay guys look look look look look look look at these two sentences now mark said let's let's use direct speech mark said I play soccer so direct speech here's the first example Mark said I play soccer but reported speech let's just use he the same here I can't okay here we go mark said that he played soccer now look look at the difference direct speech we need a comma we need quotations we need a capital letter but reported speech no comma we can use that if we want to there's no there's no there's no rule if you want to that is a little bit more formal okay so if you're writing an academic essay you probably use that is more common okay but look we need to change I to he we need to change present simple to past simple okay Oh Breaking Bad Thank You Zack good job but I know the mr. white and Reservoir Dogs oh very nice Marion Barry you don't

of our best students and you're on the facebook chat all the time and you you come to my class every week so I really really really want to help you so Rho so so Rosa don't forget a period okay and Ahmed use a capital letter man guys why what's what's wrong with capital letters why do you why do you hate capital letters right okay Mariana stop smoking Alexandra Mary Ann's brother but let's look

mark said Mary Ann was smoking a cigarette yeah Abdul kram good good okay let's anybody tried shisha before good question Omar okay so we talked about this present simple goes to pass simple let's let's go a little faster here now present continuous goes to past continuous let's keep going now let's talk about past simple if I say past simple example I went to the store what did Mark say what did Mark say I'll give you a hint the tense starts with past it starts with past but it's not the same it's not the same right mark said that key what Mark said that he mark said that he it's about it's about five or ten seconds behind past perfect Oh yo Mara that's present perfect not Pat look at look at Duggan's answer or at Rico's answer Oh Eureka it's an interesting spelling of God mark said that he has Oh my guru Buddha ingress that's present perfect guys we need past perfect past perfect good job mark said that now past perfect what's that past perfect really easy well it's not easy but we need had not have yo Mara not has me grupo de Inglis we need had plus a past participle okay so mark said that he had and and went we change to PP so gone to the store okay let's keep going let's keep going past continuous pass continue Oh see look I did it again oh I hate this word I hate this word I've always forget to you oh okay past continuous so it was raining at eight o'clock in Vancouver what did I say what did I say what did I say what did I say what did I say what did I say mark said what did I say what did I say you guys let me know and that in the chat let me know in the chat let me know let me know in the chat let me know in the chat it was raining at 8 o clock yes Andre bondarenko good job oh no pass Goa we have to change oh maybe Pascal is talking about a different sentence past perfect but it's optional yeah good point model and I'm going to talk I'll talk about that but we should use past perfect continuous yeah so Mark said it had been raining at 8 o'clock thank you model and I I should talk about that now guys Madeline is the teacher assistant today and optional what does that mean it's optional optional means it's your choice okay so if if I say if I say I went to the store I went to the store mark he went to the store is okay is okay Thank You Madeline or we can say this past perfect Mark said he had gone to the store yeah so had gone had we can change to just this mark said he'd gone to the store yeah mr. white thank you it's not obligatory which means you don't have to okay so also so the past you don't have to change it okay because a lot of Canadian people a lot of American people they don't know past perfect some students know grammar better than better than Canadians better than Americans so I think I think like you know a lot of a lot of people now they just they don't know past perfect so they just they don't change it right so it was raining it was raining at 8 o clock you can change this mark said it had been raining it had been raining at 8 o'clock but I think I think Madeline's right I think you know it is optional mark said it was raining at 8 o clock so my advice really my advice is just don't change it don't change it if it's the past okay what's Jeff teach Jeff is not teaching Jeff is helping me make a hell to helping me helping Sean and I make a new course Omar sushar thank you for your kind words okay let's

little bit different ok I have to sleep now it's 12 o'clock in Vietnam 12 o'clock come on 12 o'clock that's not late ok I'm joking go ahead go to sleep don't watch avatar alright um ok so must what else guys can what do we say for Ken what do we say for Ken well can we change to could what else other modal's could what do we what do we we don't change good ok we don't change anything else I'm am I forgetting forgetting a modal verb oh may may we need to change too might might doesn't change doesn't change so example it may rain tomorrow it may rain tomorrow what did Mark say mark said it it well I don't know why but we have to change me to might so mark said it might rain no here's a problem now we talked about this at the beginning of the class sometimes we have to change the time so if tomorrow here is the same like how do I explain this like like maybe tomorrow now is not Tuesday or tomorrow's Wednesday right so I said tomorrow and my meaning is Wednesday but then in the future we talked about Oh mark today's is is Wednesday and it's it's it's not raining you were wrong you said you said it might rain tomorrow well no because now is tomorrow so now we change it today right it's very difficult what which one's difficult POSCO at the time or mayor might maybe tomorrow was two days ago yeah so if here is easy because now tomorrow is today but somebody wrote omelet thank you the next day the next day yeah so like maybe last week you know example example I don't know so so example Alexandra Alexandra Aleksandra is speaking and he he said here is his direct speech I'm I'm going to Canada tomorrow and Alexandra I believe is in France with her sister right not with her sister but Mariana is in France right she's probably watching avatar right now Alexandra said I'm going to Canada tomorrow and that was last week and now I'm in France and you know I see Alexandra and I'm like Alexandra you're in France still you're in France you said you said you said you said you were going to Canada tomorrow no because tomorrow now is it so now we need to say the next day okay or like Rosa said the following day this is not this is not a really big problem how did it let's let's let's think about times right now and then we're going to talk about questions and then we'll we'll finish class let's let's let's think about times let me go to smart here because I need some help here let me go down down down down down oh my god let's let's just make sure we talked about everything here tenses yes will we say would be going to I am going to we we changed to was going to if you can't see this it's because you're not watching HD so turn on the HD can we change to could could doesn't change must we change to had to we talked about all this should doesn't change would doesn't change may become so this is let me maybe comes might I should change that he said that the tape me okay may you don't need to change I said change it to might it's okay if you change it to my but you don't have to change it say or tell now let's talk about say or tell before we finish remember direct speech we need to say or ask but reported speech you can you can use told me okay you can say said or told me or asked or asked me remember Rosa you you said asked me well that's for reported speech okay I wish I were in Canada I have my exams this week okay I got to go you guys alright Omar enjoy Ramadan probably it's dinner time right so enjoy anyways okay so let's let's we talked about that Oh questions I want to talk about that but time expressions okay so again if you can't see this very clearly turn on HD guys we have weird we we bought like a crazy computer because you know we need to stream high quality so people can read this so you can watch this and crazy crazy crazy quality and you can you can see mark and really amazing beautiful detail which is probably not a good thing but anyways today we change to that day now we can say then or at that time okay looks very informative can I click can I go to that website well this is smart yomaira and smart is what we use to teach English in our schools many many schools around the world use this program to to teach English so I can't really give people access to it I can just show you in the in the video every K saw this yesterday in his English class I love online English courses in your place any opportunity what do you mean any opportunity I don't understand what do you mean what kind of up Jannetty yesterday the day before okay three days ago well we would change to three days before so I met her three days ago Mark said he met her three days before okay last week we changed to the week before or we can say the previous weeks all right next year we can you say the following year tomorrow we say the next day or like Rosa said the following day the following day here and there I would like to ask you what is the difference between direct speech and reported speech did you just join the class did you just join the class go back to the beginning of the class in the in YouTube go back to the beginning of the video and I talked about it for a super long time this becomes that these becomes those thank you very much I have to go now okay Rosa me too what about later later later doesn't change laterz is okay later doesn't change okay last thing guys and then we're going to finish class now this is a little difficult example why do you like Avatar are you crazy I'm sorry if you like Avatar many most people like avatar I'm strange not easy to change a question to report it speech we have many things to think about first of all this is present simple so we have to change this to past simple but if we use reported speech now let's mark said or asked which one asked this is a question but if I do this it's not a question right mark asked is this a question mark asked no this is a normal sentence so this is question grammar but we have to change question grammar to normal grammar and normal grammar in English when I say normal grabber I mean not question grammar we always need this order subject plus verb subject + verb example I love you or I am teaching right and not question grammar sometimes we have a helping verb here right example unfortunately I have seen avatar unfortunately whoa me grupo de ingress you're right you're right Omarion mistake I'm gonna tell Shawn that you made a mistake because this is a very rare thing lots of mistakes mr. right educe Edie's beautiful very good model and don't need capital don't need capital W if if no no no not if Omar okay look at what I talked about I have seen avatar now it looks like you guys understand this we need to change this mark asked why now subject verb do you know that's questions mark asked why you like but remember we have to change the tenants and then we write the name of the stupid movie and this is not a question Madeline it's not a question meatball date oh maybe we could have put in English isn't it's not asking no do please don't tell Sean well maybe if you make another donation Mary and I will not tell Sean no I'm joking okay Edie's look at EDC's answer okay mark asked why you liked Avatar here no no do why because we need do in questions but this is not a question so goodbye do are you crazy you like Abbott - OH mushara no did no question mark no space before the question mark are you crazy this is a question right but when you do this mark asked this is not a question so we can't use we can't use the same grammar we remember how do you how do you say this like normal English like not a question how do you say this right Oh yo Mara she's worried well not a question you just say this you are crazy right but we have here mark asked why now this this word y means okay it was a question it was a question now are you crazy mark asked now look this is called a yes-or-no question a yes-or-no question we use if Mark asked if now what's the other word we can use well we can say whether whether it's the same pronunciation as whether you know outside weather how's the weather okay Madeline but you're forgetting if okay and Danielle I didn't ask Danielle how are you doing I didn't I didn't say why I just said are you crazy you like Avatar are you crazy so mark asked yes or no so mark asked if if I was crazy if I was crazy remember are we change to the past you we have to who is you me i right so let's let's do another example let's do some more questions where are you going where are you going where are you going I'm pretty good how about you I'm pretty good I'm

come on I you need capital and going you need a period students always they you know they think oh I don't need to do this because it's just YouTube chat but see the problem is then they write an academic essay and they make the same mistakes so fix your mistakes right he asked where you were going good Madelyn yo Mehra where yeah I missed your your answer right so so if I'm talking to you right mark asked me remember we can say me we don't need it where I was going mark asked where I was going okay Madelyn I was in a rush okay mr. white I'm just I'm just trying to help you guys right Jose you don't need to you don't need to okay but come on mark abent oh yeah it's terrible Mary Ann is terrible alright okay uh where are you going mark asked me where I was going okay let's do
