1. Direct speech in English
The direct speech repeats the exact words someone said. These repeated quotations or phrases are placed between quatation marks and the verb tense is not modified.
Examples:
- He said: "I lost my glasses."
- I asked: "What time will you arrive?"
- We said: "We do not want to see you again."
2. Indirect speech in English
The indirect speech is used to talk about what someone said in the past. This implies a modification of the verb tenses in comparison to direct speech. The verbs: 'to say', 'to tell', 'to advise', 'to promise' or 'to ask' are used, usually followed by the word 'that', to present the speech that has been said.
Examples:
- He said that he lost his glasses.
- I asked what time she would arrive.
- We said that we did not want to see you again.
Direct and indirect speech rules
The verbal tense of a sentence changes when we go from direct speech to indirect speech. The table below show the changes that have to be made when the direct speech is converted to indirect speech.
| Direcht speech | Indirect speech | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Present simple | "He is a teacher", she said. | Past simple | She said that he was a teacher. |
| Present continuous | He said, "I am making dinner". | Past continuous | He said that he was making dinner. |
| Present perfect | They asked, "Have you been to Australia?" | Passt perfect | They asked me if I had been to Australia. |
| Present perfect continuous | “I’ve been studying Italian for four years,” he said. | Past perfect continuous | He said he’d been studying Italian for four years. |
| Past simple | Mary said: “I didn’t go to school yesterday". | Past perfect | Mary said that she hadn’t gone to school the day before. |
| Past continuous | He said, "I was having a shower when you called". | Past perfect continuous | He said that he had been having a shower when I called. |
| Past perfect | "I had prepared something special for you", he said. | Past perfect (does not change) | He said that he had prepared something special for me. |
| Past perfect continuous | She said, “I had been repairing the car before we went.” | Past perfect continuous (does not change) | She said that she had been repairing the car before they went. |
| Future simple | He said, "I will go tomorrow" | Auxiliary would | He said that he would go tomorrow. |
It is not always necessary to modify the verb tense. If the quotation or speech is still true now, the present simple can be used:
- I live in Valencia.
- She told me that she lives in Valencia.
Modal verbs in reported speech
Some modal verbs are also modified when used in the reported speech.
| Direct speech | Indirect speech | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Can | “Can you open the door, please?”, he asked. | Could | He asked me if I could open the door. |
| Must | “You must wear your seat belt,” the police said. | Had to | The police said that I had to wear my seat belt. |
| Shall | "Shall we go to the beach today?” Mom asked. | Should | Mom asked if we should go to the beach that day. |
| May | "May I help you?", he asked. | Might/ could | He asked me if he could help me. |
The modal verbs do not change if they already have the follwing forms in direct speech:
- Might
- Could
- Would
- Should
- Ought to
Example
- He said,"I might come to your party tonight."
- He said that he might come to your party tonight.
Time expressions in reported speech
Some expressions of time or place also undergo modifications when changing form direct ot indirect speech:
| Direct speech | Indirect speech |
|---|---|
| Here | There |
| Now | Then |
| Today | That day |
| Tomorrow | The following day |
| A week ago/ last week | A week before/ the previous week |
| Last month | The month before/the previous month |
| Next year | The following year |
| In four years | Four years from then |
| This | That |
| These | Those |

Hi, name is Laura. I come from a small town near Manchester, UK, though I now live in Bulgaria with my husband and two small children. I am an avid reader of fiction and am also particularly interested in current affairs, politics, psychology and education. I teach English full time and thoroughly enjoy my work. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the Bulgarian countryside, cooking and learning Bulgarian.

My lessons are very communicative and with a strong focus on speaking. I really enjoy getting to know my students and I try to incorporate their hobbies and interests into our lessons.

I have taught hundreds of young people and have found that they enjoy and respond well to my relaxed teaching approach. I am particularly well-suited to helping young people progress and have confidence in their ability.
My Lessons & Teaching Style
My teaching style is open and friendly. I encourage students to speak as much as possible and guide them through their use of English. All of my lessons are tailor-made according to the needs of my students. Whether it is conversation practice, grammar study or exam preparation (specifically KET/PET/FCE), I can help.
Each of my lessons is designed with clear learning objectives and I use a variety of learning methods/materials to make my lessons interesting and to reinforce what we have covered.
I believe learning should be fun and rewarding and students should be able to feel their own personal progress after each lesson. I genuinely care about the development every one of my students.

Recently, the health situation has prompted me to leave my home country and start a professional retraining. Passionate about English since childhood, I chose to do the TEFL Course to be able to teach the language. Having just graduated with distinction, I would now like to move on to the next step of my apprenticeship : Teaching.
My first lessons will be based on the PPP method or Presentation-Practice-Production. This method consists, first of all, in presenting or having people guess the target language before giving learners the opportunity to practice it through controlled activities. During the last step of the lesson, students have the opportunity to produce the language in freer activities.
I will try, as much as possible, to give my students a way to discover the target language for themselves, based on their existing knowledge. Also, since the practice of a foreign language requires oral comprehension, my lessons will be entirely given in English.
My classes are open to everyone!
M. M.
Clément is a new teacher and is eager to help you learn English. He specializes in teaching the levels A1 until B2. He is patient and structures his class according to the PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production) Method. You are guaranteed to learn a lot from him!

**** Please contact me before booking a lesson, thanks! :-)*** Hello everyone, I'm Federica and I'm an italian and english teacher. Before being a teacher I've been a student infact I graduated in languages so I know very well how hard can be learning a new language. I'm interested in music, cinema, literature and I enjoy talking about several topics. I've been teaching since 2009 and in 2012 I've qualified as italian language teacher. I've experience with children and adults, with in company courses, with total beginners as well as with advanced. Also I've succesfully prepared a number of students for the most important english and italian certification (CELI, CILS, FIRST, PET, KET). Over the last years I've became specialized in one-to-one or small groups lessons because in this way I can create a tailored programme for each student. I follow a communicative approach and in my classes there's lot of room for speaking but I don't neglect grammar, listening and writing. I provide you with material, sometimes selfmade, other times taken from books, videos, or songs, but always useful to help you to immerse in the target language! At the end of every lesson I always assign homework in order to revise the things learnt. I define myself as a happy, positive and very patient person and I do my best to make the class a funny and relaxed moment. I look forward to meet you online!
A. V.
After a year of classes with Federica, I can only say that she is an excellent teacher, I am very satisfied with my progress
Federica C.
Thanks a lot! It's amazing how much progress you've made with English in one year! Keep going like this!
Hello!
I believe learning should be fun and interactive!
I would love to help you in any way I can, to improve your knowledge of English.
I love making beginners feel comfortable, and developing conversations or grammar with those who are more experienced in English!
I am very used to teaching children whose second language is English.
I love teaching and watching children come alive with individual attention, and tailoring my teaching style to their personalities. I enjoy being animated with my students!
I am comfortable teaching children and adults.
I am a South African and have a Business degree. I worked in Finance and Marketing for 7 years for Volkswagen South Africa.
I am extroverted and I love people!
I have homeschooled my children from the 2nd grade through to the 7th grade.
I have taught Life Skills to 8 year olds at a Primary School for three years.
Currently, I tutor 1st and 2nd graders at a school where the children are learning in English as a SECOND language.
I believe my personality, teaching experience and work ethic make me a great teacher!
Best Regards

I've been living and working as a Turkish teacher in London for 5 years. I studied Turkish language and literature. I graduated from Kocaeli University in 2009. I have pedagogical proficiency and a Teaching Turkish for Foreigners certificate from Istanbul University.
I have experience at high schools and secondary schools in İstanbul/Turkey for 5 years.
All the collateral will be provided by me. I will give you homework after every lesson and we will check it together.
I use a theory book and an excercise book for my lessons, versions vary according to your level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1). They're all published by Istanbul University and are called `Turkish For Foreigners`
I also use powerpoint presentations during my lessons. It makes it easier to understand the grammar rules.
My lessons are about grammar, listening, speaking and writing.
Lessons are interactive and fun as I believe a playful approach to learning a new language helps retaining information. Games and other devices such as cards will be be used during the lessons.
For more information please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. Thank you very much. Have a great day! :)
