reported speech

“Can you take a messege?”

“Yes for sure”

In this chapter we will work with reported speeches.

In a reported speech – in which you transmit a message – you use commonly the verbs: could, would, and the pronoun please.

Examples:

_ Could you tell her (that) the meeting is on friday?

_ Would you tell her (that) the meeting is on Friday?

_ Please tell Ann (that) the meeting is on Friday?

Did you realized anything similar between these examples? The use of the same sentence repeated multiple times:

Anomalous verb + person + tell + that + the rest of the sentence
