Period four
(grammar: Direct & Indirect Speech)
Teaching Objectives:
1.To help students understand and use direct and indirect speech in statements and questions
2.To help students learn to use some useful words and expressions
Teaching Procedures
1. Warming up by reading aloud
Reading and reading aloud are the two very important things to do while learning English. So, to begin with, you are to read the text on page 2 aloud to the tape. Let’s see who read aloud with the best pronunciation and intonation.
2. Discovering words and expressions
Turn to page 4 and do Exercises1, 2and 3. Then make a check on your answers.
3. Learning about grammar
⑴Direct speech
In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are given and are indicated by quotation marks.
★“I don’t know what to do,” said Dean.
In some grammar books, ‘said Dean’ is referred to as a reporting clause. “I don't know what to do,” is referred to as the reported clause.
⑵Indirect speech
In indirect speech, the exact meaning of the speaker’s words is given, but the exact words are not directly quoted.
★Dean said that he didn’t know what to do.
To convert direct speech into indirect speech:
If the main verb is past tense, present tense verbs in ‘that clause’ must also be changed to past tense.
Dean said that he didn’t know what to do.
First and second person pronouns must be changed to third person pronouns.
Dean said that he didn’t know what to do.
(The word ‘that’ can often be left out: Dean said he didn’t know what to do.)
⑶Indirect questions
The same rules apply to indirect questions as to indirect statements. The difference is that a ‘wh- clause’ is used instead of a ‘that clause’.
Direct question: “Did Marama’s horse win a prize?” Owen asked.
Indirect questions: Owen asked whether (or if) Marama’s horse had won a prize. |
Direct question: “Why won’t you marry me?” asked Donald. Indirect question: Donald asked her why she wouldn’t marry him. |
“What shall we do?” asked Bev.
“Don’t worry, Bev,” said Duncan, “I’ve got a plan.”
Bev asked Duncan what they should do. He told her not to worry and that he had got a plan. |
Direct speech: “First of all, I would like to thank everybody who helped with the fair. The results were very good, and we will now be able to buy two more computers.”
Indirect speech: The principal said that he would like to thank everybody who had helped with the fair. He announced that the results were very good and that the school would now be able to buy two more computers. |
Now let’s go to page 5 to do the three exercises in order to consolidate our studies of the directspeech and indirect speech.
