teaching procedures:
step 1. revision
when the body of a 22-year-old computer programmer was found in the doorway of a clothes
shop. what did detective lu say?
(1) he said, “ we are asking anyone who saw anything unusual last night to contact us.”
(2) he said, “ we are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who saw anything unusual near upper street.”
(3) he said: “ the victim was attacked with a knife and bled to death as a result.”
(4) he said: “ the victim obviously put up a good fight.” …
ask the students to say as many sentences as possible.
step 2. presentation
now, you are the assistant of dtective lu, you want to tell other people what detective lu said. you can use reported speech or indirect speech. we don’t use quotation marks with reported speech. we should pay attention to the following rules.
1. we change the pronouns when using reported speech.
“ i’m scared.” said the witness. ---- the witness said (that) he was scared.
(using ‘that’ in the middle of the sentence is optional. in spoken english , ‘that’ is generally left out. in written english, ‘that’ is often kept, as this more formal.)
2. we change tenses when using reported speech like this:
“ i’m scared.” said the witness. ---- the witness said (that) he was scared.
(simple present – simple past )
“ the thief is running away.” said mr. ma. ---- mr. ma said the thief was ruuning away.
(present continous – past continous )
“i have finished my reported.” said detective lu. ---- detective lu said he had finished his
reported.
(present perfect – past perfect )
“ i watched the game.” said mr. wu. ---- mr. wu said that he had watched the game.
(simple past – past perfect)
“we’ll look for more clues.” said detective lu. ---- detective lu said that they would look for
more clues.
(simple future – would…)
tip: we don’t change simple present tense to the simple past tense when the speaker is talking about something that is always true.
e.g. “the sun rises in the east.” said mr. wu. ---- mr wu said that the sun rises in the east.
3. we change theadverbials of time using reported speech like this.
now – then today – that day tonight – that night
this morning/week – that morning/week tomorrow – the following day/the next day yesterday – the day before last month – the month before共20页，当前第11页1234567891011121314151617181920
