Set sentence order! 

John watches TV with his sister in the living room at night. 

I talked to him yesterday. 

Last weekend he met her at a party. 

Word order

always, never, sometimes, often, seldom, usually, already, soon, almost, also, probably, nearly, certainly

- when there is one verb, before verb:                             I often walk to school. 

- when there are more verbs, after the first verb:          He has already seen that film. 

- after the verb forms of 'to be':                                        They are almost always late. 

- after the subject in questions:                                        Do they sometimes visit their                                                                                                                grandparents? 

Direct vs indirect speech

Direct speech:           Mom says: 'You will be late if you do not hurry.'

Indirect speech:        Mom said I would be late if I did not hurry. 

Two things to focus on:

1. Make sure you use the correct pronouns in the indirect speech. 

2. Change the verbs so that they fit the sentence.

Direct vs indirect speech

Verbs:

simple present --> simple past                    walk --> walked / buy --> bought

simple past --> past perfect                          walked --> had walked 

present perfect --> past perfect                    have walked --> had walked 

present continuous --> past continuous     am walking --> was walking

future 'will' --> future 'would'    

must --> had to 

can --> could 

Direct vs indirect speech

They said: 'We don't agree.' --> They said they didn't agree.

She said: 'You must come home at once.' --> She said I had to come home at once.
