3. Lets summarize … Direct speech Exact words with quotation marks He said ´you play the guitar´ Indirect speech Add THAT Change the TENSE according the situation Don´t use quotation marks He said that you played the guitar

4. Change the TENSE according the situation In Indirect speech, we learned that the sentences changes in the present form to the past form. The teacher said ¨ he need to finish the homework ¨ The teacher said that he needed to finish the homework But what abour other tenses?...

5. The importance is always in the tense of the direct speech … We need to look always the tense which the direct speech happens. The literal thing that someone said. ¨Mark is travelling to New York¨ She said in this situation, the message is in PRESENT CONTINUOS . So the indirect speech must be in PAST CONTINUOUS She said that Mark was travelling to new york.
