Is it too much difficult for you?! Reported speech!!!

We do not look for easier ways of studying English! :)))

This topic is about how to form REPORTED SPEECH correctly. Are you good at it?

Rule: remake the direct speech into reported one. that's it! ahh, and don't forget to give your sentence of direct speech.

If there are any difficulties, just look into my blog and you'll find the grammar rules there!

E.g. direct speech - 'You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!'

      indirect/reported speech - He said you were the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

My sentence is Tom:' My parents are very well'.
