she says," I teach English"
reported speech
Answers
Answer:
Sometimes you need to tell people about your conversations and change direct speech into indirect speech. When you do this, you need to make sure that the tenses are correct.
For example, Karen says to Peter: “My job is very interesting.” Peter then wants to report this conversation to Sarah a week later. He says: “Karen said that her job was interesting.”
When you report a conversation, the tense changes:
“My job is very interesting” becomes: She said that her job was very interesting.
Tense changes
“I’m going swimming” – She said she was going swimming.
“I haven’t seen the film” – She said she hadn’t seen the film.
“I have been working all morning” – She said she had been working all morning.
“I was working all week” – She said she had been working all week.
“He went on holiday to Greece” – She said he had gone on holiday to Greece.
Sentences that are already in the “had done” form remain the same:
“I hadn’t seen him before” – She said she hadn’t
