My English Pages Reported Speech Exercises
My English Pages Reported Speech Exercises offers a page of practice on direct and indirect speech for ESL and EFL learners. The page contains a multiple-choice exercise, a sentence transformation exercise and an error correction exercise, followed by a short recap of the rules for backshifting tenses, changing time expressions and reporting questions and commands. Sample answers are provided.
100% Free (unlimited): The three exercises, the sample answers and the recap of the rules are open to every learner on the page, with no account and no payment. You can work through the page from top to bottom at your own pace.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page holds three sets of exercises with answers: multiple choice, sentence transformation in which you rewrite a quoted sentence as reported speech, and error correction. Together they cover backshifting, time and place expressions, and reported questions, requests and commands. A short recap of the rules closes the page.
Start with the multiple-choice set to see where you stand, then move to the transformations, which ask you to produce the sentence rather than recognise it. Check each answer as you go instead of at the end, so a wrong pattern does not repeat through the set. The error-correction set is the hardest and is best kept for a later visit.
