3 We use the Reported speech: Nex t When we are telling someone what another person said or thought, but do not use their exact words. For example Mark said that he wanted to live in London.

4 Please, note that: Quotation marks are not used in reported speech. Verb tenses, pronouns and some time and place words may change because the time, place and speaker may be different. When we report a statement, we use reported verbs such as say, tell, explain, inform, answer, decide, etc. often followed by that. Nex t

5 In reported –wh questions, we use the wh- word + the subject + the verb. We do not use the interrogative form of the verb – do, does or did. Nex t As it is an indirect question no question marks are used When we report requests, orders, advice or warnings we use verbs such as advice, ask, beg, tell, order, etc, followed by an infinitive.
