REPORTED SPEECH
It is used to tell what someone has said without using the exact words uttered by that person.
PASSIVE VOICE
- The passive voice is when the subject does not perform the action of the verb but receives this action. The most important person or object becomes the subject of the sentence.
- STRUCTURE
- Object + verb to be + participle + by + subject (agent complement)
- The cake was bought by my dad.
- EXAMPLES:
- The cake was bought by my dad.
- Object + verb to be + participle + by + subject (agent complement)
- STRUCTURE
- The passive voice is when the subject does not perform the action of the verb but receives this action. The most important person or object becomes the subject of the sentence.
Past participle verbs are important as they are very necessary for reported speech and the passive voice are formed as follows: The past participle of regular verbs in English is formed the same as the English past by adding "ed" or "d" to the end of the verb. Verbs ending with a consonant before the "y", the letter "y" is changed to "i", and the ending "ed" is added.
- VERBS
When we report something is always true or what someone is saying or thinking now.
- In reported speech the grammar of verbs is changed to past simple.
- She has not finished eating She said ( verbo pasado) she hasn't finished eating This is a reported speech
- EXAMPLE:
- She has not finished eating She said ( verbo pasado) she hasn't finished eating This is a reported speech
