00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:06,980
Today, we're going to study reported speech, and we are going to do so by means of the

2
00:00:06,980 --> 00:00:11,019
movie Get Out, written and directed by Jordan Peele.

3
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:18,320
What I have done, and what you guys will be seeing throughout this presentation, is a

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,280
series of quotes from the movie, statements, questions, commands, that I have taken out

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,940
of the script, and I have transcripted into the PowerPoint presentation.

6
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,700
I'm going to give you the direct speech quote.

7
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:37,179
I will then highlight the changes that we need to make to the sentence.

8
00:00:37,859 --> 00:00:40,240
And finally, you will get the reported speech sentence.

9
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:46,179
And of course, before we begin, remember that the changes that we need to apply to a reported

10
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:51,759
speech type of sentence coming from a direct speech type of sentence are tenses, pronouns,

11
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,880
and time and place references.

12
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:58,399
In this first slide that you guys are seeing up on the screen,

13
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:02,439
Officer Ryan says, Sir, can I see your license, please?

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,480
The highlight changes that you're seeing, can in red being the tense and I and your in blue being the pronouns,

15
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:17,879
are the ones that we need to transform, that we need to change in order for us to go from the direct speech quote to the reported speech sentence.

16
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:23,659
Of course, the sentence would be Officer Ryan asked if he could see his license.

17
00:01:23,659 --> 00:01:30,620
when we report a question remember you can have a yes or no type of question or a wh type of

18
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:36,120
question if it is a yes or no type of question you follow the reporting verb in this in this case

19
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:42,400
ask by if and not that as we would do in regular reported speech sentences

20
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,799
the following one rose he wasn't driving in here the changes that you need to apply

21
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:55,459
are of course to he wasn't driving wasn't driving being the tense that you can see in red

22
00:01:55,459 --> 00:02:03,700
the reported pitch quote would be something like this rose explained that he hadn't been driving

23
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:10,099
from the past simple we go back we revert to the past perfect he hadn't been driving

24
00:02:10,099 --> 00:02:18,740
in this case past continuous therefore past perfect continues next one reads rose you don't

25
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:24,919
have to give him your ID. Changes that we need to make are you and your being the

26
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,900
pronouns and then don't have being the tense and the result of course would be

27
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:37,680
Rose argued that he didn't have to give him his ID. In this case he and his being

28
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,740
the pronouns and then didn't have being the tense change from the direct

29
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:48,379
speech sentence to the reported speech sentence. The following one police

30
00:02:48,379 --> 00:02:55,060
officer is everything all right Ryan that is a yes or no question so again what we need to follow

31
00:02:55,060 --> 00:03:03,259
uh the reporting verb with is the particle if and the changes that we need to apply uh are is and

32
00:03:03,259 --> 00:03:09,000
then if if that sentence had um or were to contain the word now then now would be another thing

33
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,479
another um place reference time reference in this case that we would need to change the sentence

34
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:19,879
will be something like this the police officer asked ryan if everything was all right then

35
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:29,400
is present tense changes of course to past tense was and then now changes to then officer ryan

36
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,340
get this headlight fix we have throughout this presentation seen statements and uh questions

37
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:42,659
and this now is a command an imperative sentence get this headlight fixed the changes that we need

38
00:03:42,659 --> 00:03:50,180
apply being this a command again an imperative sentence are extremely easy the verb get plus

39
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:57,620
this in this case being a pronoun officer ryan warned them to get that headlight fix

40
00:03:57,620 --> 00:04:02,659
remember in commands in imperative sentences the only thing you have to do is to precede the verb

41
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:11,539
untouched by two get this satellite fix again uh becomes officer ryan warned them to get that

42
00:04:11,539 --> 00:04:18,579
headlight fix this of course changes to that that is the end of this presentation i hope uh it serves

43
00:04:18,579 --> 00:04:24,420
you as good practice and review and revision uh for reported speech and for any upcoming exams

44
00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:30,899
that you might have um i'll be seeing you guys in the next video as usual be safe and take care
