Okay class, before we proceed with our
lesson, we will play a game called “Pass (Students are listening
the message!” carefully)
Your groupings will depend on what

will be the one to recite the relayed
message exactly and correctly.

the person next to you. The last person
 will be the one to tell me the exact
words that I have said.
Are we clear?
Okay let’s begin.
Statement 1: “I am definitely fine” (Students begin to relay the
message to their members)
Statement 2: “Forever do exist”
Statement 3: “Things happen for a
reason”
Statement 4: “Positivity is beauty”
Statement 5: “Be who you wanted to
be”
Very good class! Did you enjoy?
Now class, give me one statement that I
have said earlier. “Forever do exist” ma’am.
Okay, how about we put it this way, you
say my name first then followed by the
statement.
Ma’am Hanna said, “Things

definitely fine.”
Okay give me another statement that Ma’am said that positivity

Ma’am Hanna said, “Be
Very Good! What else? who you wanted to be.”
It is in a reporting manner.

Now class, what have you observed

with the new statement?
Yes, that’s right. So today, we will be (Students are listening)
dealing more on that and we will learn
later what’s the difference between the
two statements.

B. Establishing a To start the discussion, let us read first At the end of the lesson the
purpose for the the objectives that we need to achieve students will be able to:

from direct speech
to indirect speech
and vice versa

Everybody read the examples. The first sentence has a

Indirect speech: The boy said that he the pronouns and verb
was happy with his results. changed.
What changes have you noticed
between the two sentences?
That’s right! So, as we go on with our
topic, we will learn more about these.

D. Discuss new concepts What is direct speech?

and practicing new Direct speech: the message of the
skills #1 speaker is conveyed or reported in his
own actual words without any change.
Example:
“The shaking was so strong I could
hardly stand,” coast guard personnel “The shaking was so strong
Rayner Neil Elopre said. I could hardly stand.”
In direct speech, what a person says
appears within quotation marks and
should be word for word. Have you a) Elizz said, “I am

and it doesn’t have to be word for
word. Are we clear?

I have here another set of examples.

Everybody read.
E. Discuss new concepts Now there are rules when changing the
and practicing new tense of verb in converting direct
skills #2 speech into indirect speech.
1. All inverted commas or
quotation marks are omitted,
and the sentence ends with a
full stop.
2. Conjunction ‘that’ is added
before the indirect statement.
3. Change the first letter of the
direct statement into small Direct: They said, “we will
letter except for “I” not permit this.”
Example: Indirect: They said that

in the East.” Direct: John said, “I write a

4. The pronoun is changed. wrote a letter.
I – she or he
We – They
Us – Them
My/mine – his, her/hers
Our/ours – Their/theirs
Everybody read the examples.
5. The verb is changed
Example:
Direct: “I always drink coffee”, she said
Indirect: She said that she always drank
coffee.
Direct: He said, “Bill arrived on
Saturday.”
Indirect: He said that Bill had arrived on
Saturday.
 Note: DO NOT change these modals:
Would, could, should, might and ought
to.
F. Developing Mastery Now class, I want you to identify
whether the sentence is direct speech
or indirect speech. It is a direct speech.
1. He said, “John will be in London Indirect: He said that John
on Tuesday.” would be in London on
Tuesday.
2. “I never eat meat”, he It is a direct speech.
explained. Indirect: He explained that
he never ate meat.
3. He said that she was coming
this week. It is indirect speech.
Direct: He said, “She is
4. Mother said that she should coming this week.”
meet the doctor.
It is indirect speech.
Direct: Mother said, “I
should meet the doctor.”
G. Finding practical Every day we receive advices about life
applications of from our family and friends. Here are
concepts and skills in some examples of advices in a from of
daily living direct and indirect speech. Convert the
following from direct to indirect or vice He said that I should

2. Mother said to me, “Be Father said to me, “Avoid
careful.” having boyfriend.”
3. Father told me to avoid having Alex said that I should eat a
boyfriend. lot of vegetables.
4. “You should eat a lot of
vegetables”, Alex said.
H. Making generalization So again, what is the difference Direct speech, the message
and abstractions between direct and indirect speech? of the speaker is reported
about the lesson in his own actual words.
While the indirect speech is
