Intermediate Grammar B1
In this article, Intermediate Grammar B1 learners study direct speech vs indirect speech.
You will learn how speech changes when you report someone else's words.
The key question is: Which pronouns, time words, and verb forms need to change?
The main rule to remember is: When reporting past speech, move the speaker's words into a noun clause or question structure and adjust the point of view.
You will study direct sentences changed into reported statements, questions, and commands.
By the end, you should be able to report speech clearly without losing the original meaning.
Reported speech tells someone what another person said, asked, promised, explained, or requested. It often changes pronouns, time words, and verb forms.
Direct Speech vs Indirect Speech looks specifically at direct speech vs indirect speech. At this level, the goal is to explain relationships between ideas and avoid common intermediate mistakes.
As you read, keep one question in mind: Which pronouns, time words, and verb forms need to change? This question will help you connect the rule to meaning instead of memorizing the form alone.
You will see direct sentences changed into reported statements, questions, and commands, then practice the topic through corrections, short tasks, and a final review.
This section breaks direct speech vs indirect speech into practical rules. Read each rule, study the examples, and notice how the form supports the meaning.
Use reporting verbs such as said, told, explained, and added. That is often optional.
Use statement word order after the question word or after if or whether.
Use told, asked, advised, or warned plus object plus infinitive.
