Direct & Reported Speech | Writing

Mr Wong's reading task was about direct and reported speech. Direct speech is exactly what you or someone has said. Reported speech is telling someone what another person has said.

We first organised each sentence into either the 'Direct Speech' or 'Reported Speech' boxes. You can identify the differences between direct and reported speech. One thing is that direct speech uses speech marks. Another thing is that reported speech usually uses past tense.

After that we wrote the characteristics of direct and reported speech. Characteristics are the attributes of something.

LI: To identify direct and reported speech.
