195.8K views on YouTube

Learn how to use reported speech with me and my sister Audra. “Reported speech” is when we say what someone else said. This is also called “indirect speech”. For example, Audra says, “I am Emma’s sister.” When I tell other people what Audra said, I would say the following: “Audra said she was my sister.” We use reported speech with verbs like “said”, “told”, and “ask”. We use reported speech frequently in conversation. Watch this class to learn about reported speech and see many examples.
