Reading and Comprehension Worksheet

Read the following text very carefully:

On the way back from New Haven we were driving along the
Housatonic(*). It was a beautiful day. We stopped to have dinner but the
restaurants at the rivers edge turned out not to be restaurants at all but dark,
run-down bars with, curiously, no views of the river. So we drove on to
Newtown, where we saw many cars parked around a restaurant that appeared
to have a colonial atmosphere. I said, All those cars are a good sign. Lets
eat there. When we got in, we were in a large dining room with very few
people eating. The waitress seemed slightly giddy. David Tudor ordered
some ginger ale, and after quite a long time was served some Coca-Cola,
which he refused. Later we both ordered parfaits, mine was to be chocolate,
his to be strawberry. As the waitress entered the kitchen, she shouted, Two
chocolate parfaits. When David Tudor explained to her later that he had
ordered strawberry, she said, They made some mistake in the kitchen. I
said, there must be another dining room in this building with a lot of people
eating in it. The waitress said, Yes. Its downstairs and there are only two
of us for each floor and we keep running back and forth.

Direct and Reported Speech

Verb and pronoun changes;
Person, place and time changes;
Wh-questions;
Reporting orders and requests;
Reporting offers and suggestions.

Direct Speech We can show that words are in direct speech by putting the original
words of the speaker in quotation marks: (John says: All those cars are a good sign.
Lets eat there.).
When we dont need or want to repeat the actual words of the speaker, we can use the
Reported Speech (John said (that) all those cars were a good sign. He suggested
eating there.).
We use the Reported speech to report the meaning of what was said, not the exact
words.
We use the Reported speech in a noun clause beginning with that or a wh-word (what,
where, when, etc.). In informal uses, we often omit that.
IX

. Reporting what people said:

-

Direct speech: John says: All those cars are a good sign. Lets eat there.

-> Reported speech: John said (that) all those cars were a good sign. He
suggested eating there.

. Reporting wh-questions:
-

Direct speech: We ask: Where can we eat cheese and bacon hamburgers?

-> Reported speech: We asked where we could eat cheese and bacon
hamburgers.

. Reporting orders and requests:

-

Direct speech: She says: Please, move this plate.

-> Reported speech: She told me to move that plate.

. Reporting offers and suggestions:

- Direct speech: You say: Shall we go to a fast-food restaurant?
- -> Reported speech: You suggested going to a fast-food restaurant

In indirect speech, we change the words that refer to the speaker's situation (I, my, this)
into words that reflect the different point of view of the person reporting (she, her, that).
We usually change words that refer to the place and the time of speaking to reflect the
point of view of the person reporting.
We also change pronouns to reflect the point of view of the person reporting.

Modals in Reported Speech:

We usually change modals:

can

could

may

might

will

would

Note - There is no change to: could, would, should, might and ought to from direct to
reported speech.
We change shall to would in predictions and to should in offers or suggestions:
She says: I shall do it right away!.

She said that she would do it right away.

The waiter asks: Shall I close the door?

The waiter asked if he should close the door.

We can use must or had to when we report that something was necessary:
He said we must do more!
He says: You must do more!.

Or
He said we had to do more.

In reporting we use verbs such as announce, answer, explain, mention, promise, reply,
say, suggest, tell, warn. The most common of these are say and tell.

Tell or say ?
We use tell if we want to mention the hearer (the person spoken to).
Eg.: She told me (that) David Tudor had ordered strawberry parfaits.
When we dont mention the hearer, we use say.
Eg.: She said (that) David Tudor had ordered some ginger ale.
