GRAMMAR REVIEW: DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH
Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person said. To do this, we can use direct speech or indirect speech.

Verbs come more past.


Direct speech


Indirect speech

Marat said, “I want to organize the production of the work, as well as the workforce.”


Marat said that he wanted to organize the production of the work, as well as the workforce.

Marat asked, “Do our employers look for candidates with at least a bachelor's degree with a concentration of courses in the areas of economics and management?”


Marat asked if their employers looked for candidates with at least a bachelor's degree with a concentration of courses in the areas of economics and management.

Marat asked, “Do our employers look for candidates with at least a bachelor's degree with a concentration of courses in the areas of economics or management?”


Marat asked whether their employers looked for candidates with at least a bachelor's degree with a concentration of courses in the areas of economics or management.

Marat asked, “How often do you have a business trip?”



Marat asked how often I had a business trip.



Note: When the reporting verb is in a present or future tense, we do not change the tense of the verb inside the quotation marks.

Indirect speech: She says that she will come.

The tense in indirect speech is not changed if the words within the quotation marks talk of a universal truth or habitual action.
