Reported speech + Q&A: "But you said you were a billionaire!"
Live class about reported speech plus a Q&A for the last 30 minutes where you asked me about conditionals, anxiety, pronunciation, and more!
Tips for reported speech:
📌you don’t have to include “that”, I do when I feel it’s needed for more clarity, maybe in writing when I have a long sentence, but in speaking it’s often omitted “she said ((that)) she enjoyed learning languages”
📌when reporting something that happened in the past, you can keep the verb that the person said in the present if it’s still true, but if it isn’t, or you aren’t sure, you have to change it to the past.
Some English tests and courses always ask that you convert the verb to the past but this isn’t always needed when it is still true (“he said he is here” vs “he said he was here”)
