reported speech


REPORTED SPEECH: WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO USE IT


What is the reported speech? Have you ever written something that you have paraphrased or do not mention exactly? If so, you've probably used the indirect style, also known as reported speech in English. The indirect or reported speech style is the way you can tell, explain, write or say something in your own words, changing the verb tense to the past. It differs from direct speech in this way, since direct speech implies that you say or write everything verbatim and exactly how it happened.

Rules for using reported speech
To use it, you have to take into account some simple rules.

Rule No. 1: You must learn that, in reported speech, verb tenses change.

That is, in direct speech or in direct style, all verb tense expressions are in the present tense. But when you use the indirect or reported speech style this verb changes to the past tense. However, there are two exceptions that you will see later.


 for example:


“I am very glad to see you again”, carlos said.


reported speech 


carlos said that he was glad to see me again.




Rule # 2: The verb tenses of modal verbs, also known as modal verbs in English, also change.



As mentioned above, verb tenses change once you switch from direct to indirect style, and modal verbs don't escape this either, except would, could, should, might, and ought to.

example: 

“You must finish your homework”, dad said

reported speech 


Dad said I had to finish my homework.

modal verbs

The first time I was involved in a car wreck was when I was seventeen (17) years old. I was making a left turn onto a two-lane road that was separated by a turn lane. After being waved through by a kindly driver who was waiting for a red traffic signal, I attempted to slowly pull into the center turn lane. Unfortunately, a young woman attempting to make her pizza delivery “within thirty minutes” was illegally speeding down the turn lane and demolished the front passenger-side quarter panel of her car on the very tip of my front bumper. Five or six scratches on the front of my car compared to the severe damage to this pizza delivery person’s vehicle.
My first mistake was not immediately calling the authorities and reporting the crash. Instead, I chose to pull out of the roadway so that the traffic could get through. Once we’d pulled off the roadway the pizza delivery driver wanted to get to her delivery, so she suggested we’d trade information and be on our way and I agreed.  Never, ever make such a mistake. A host of vehicles in the area and a quick description of the accident would have led most police officers to assign blame on the pizza driver for illegally using a turn lane to circumvent traffic. Instead, I was blamed for the accident and my insurance rates went through the roof. Although police accident reports are generally inadmissible at trial, they are essential to the insurance carriers assigning liability.
opinion
i think the woman should be more responsible at the steering  wheel , be more aware of traffic lights and not be so imprudent
