Reported speech
When we report someone's words we can do it in two ways.
we can use direct speech with quotation marks or reported how other person said.
we use reported speech when we want to repeat what other people said
example:
nacy said: " I'm planning a party."
We may not say exactly what the person said:
Nancy said that she was planning a party.
Reporting Questions
When we report what people say, we usually change the tense of the verbs to reflect that we are reporting.
examples:
is the food ready?- My father wanted to know if the food was ready.
Did you enjoy the party?- She asked me whether I'd enjoyed the party.
