About Reported Speech
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
The resources here deal with moving from direct to reported speech. The mind map Direct and Indirect speech sets out the basics, including the use of "if" or "whether" when a yes/no question is reported. Other maps cover pronoun changes, tense shifts such as Present Simple to Past Simple, and reported speech with modals.
Where to start
- Open the mind map Direct and Indirect speech for an overview.
- Work through the flashcard deck Reported Speech - Statements and Questions revision, which drills said or told.
- Try the quiz Quick test 8 (intermediate), which mixes tense changes with patterns such as would you mind + V-ing.
- Move on to reporting verbs with the slide set Reported Speech (III): Reporting Verbs and the matching mind map.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then test yourself. If a quiz answer surprises you, go back to the map and find the rule. The quizzes on questions, reporting structures and transformation of statements let you check one skill at a time. The flashcard game on famous last words turns real quotations into reported statements, which is a friendly way to practise.
Where this unit sits
Reported Speech belongs to the strand Grammar: Verbs and Tenses in the English language subject. It connects tense work with sentence patterns, since reporting verbs such as suggest, promise or refuse each take their own structure.
Your next step
Teachers can set a quiz or a flowchart as a quick check in class. Students can choose one resource today and see how far they get.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Direct and Indirect speech. It gives a short overview of direct and indirect speech, including how yes/no questions use "if" or "whether". After that, the revision flashcards on statements and questions make a good second step.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 600 mind maps. They cover pronoun changes, tense shifts, reported questions, reported statements, modals and reporting verbs. Some are general overviews, while others focus on one point, such as other changes in reported statements.
Are there quizzes on reporting verbs?
Yes. The quiz Examen Reported Speech: Reporting structures covers verbs such as suggest followed by a gerund, with explanations. Another quiz, Reporting verbs + Passive, goes further, and a slide set and mind map cover the same patterns.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and difficulty vary from one resource to the next.
Who are these resources for?
They mainly suit school students working at secondary level, and teachers looking for ready-made material. Nearly all the resources are at that level, so you will find tests, revision cards and class notes rather than advanced material.
What if I can't find what I need?
Try a different format on the same topic, such as a flowchart instead of a mind map. A free account also lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and saves your quiz scores.
