Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Write the following conversation in indirect speech:
    Ben: Can I use your phone?
    Sue: No. 
    Solution

    The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.

    When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to affirmative statement .( ? and ! is not used).

    Option D is correct as when we convert the given direct conversation to indirect speech, to which is used to link the two different direct speeches,the appropriate introductory verb asked is used,the question doesn't start with a question word if is added,I is changed to he, your to her, and as Sue's reply is negative , negatively is used.

     The other options are wrong as aid , to use, and can can't be used.

    The correct answer is D)Ben asked Sue if he could use her phone to which Sue replied negatively.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Change into reporting speech:
    My lawyer said, "Don't say anything to the police".
    Solution
    The given sentence is an advice.
    In an imperative sentence, the verb of the reported speech takes 'to' i.e. to go, to do, etc. In the negative sentence the infinitive (to+ verb) is preceded by 'not'.
    Infinitive always takes the basic form of the verb preceded by to. So, 'don't say' will change into 'not to say'.
    In an imperative sentence the reporting verb is changed into request, beg, order, advise, instruct, forbid.
    Thus, in indirect speech, the sentence must be,
    My lawyer advised me not to say anything to the police.
    Thus option D is the correct answer.
    Options A,B,C are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Convert the following to reported speech:
    Sam: Did you break into the shop?
    Sue: No, I didn't.
    Solution

    The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. Direct speech is found in plays and quotations. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.

    Option D is correct as if is used,simple past tense is changed to past perfect tense, you to he, to which is used to join the two statements, and negatively is used in place of no, and didn't is changed to hadn't.

    Options A,B, and C are wrong as if is not used, if is missing and broke cannot be used respectively.

    The correct answer is D)Sam asked Sue if he had broken into the shop to which Sue replied negatively and said that she hadn't.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Write in reporting speech:
    Sam: The radio isn't working.
    Sue: Have you tried changing the batteries?
    Solution

    The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.

    When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to affirmative statement .( ? and ! is not used).

    Option D is correct as when we convert the given direct speech to indirect speech , the present continuous tense is changed to past continuous tense (wasn't working), to which is used to connect the two dialogues,  if is used as the question doesn't start with a question word, and the present perfect tense is changed to past perfect tense.
