AJEEP Quoted and Reported Speech (Direct and Indirect Speech) Kelly Robart AJEEP Quoted and Reported Speech (Direct and Indirect Speech) Description Quoted and reported speech, also referred to as direct and indirect speech, are used frequently, both in writing and in everyday speech. Journalists use quoted speech in their articles, and everyone uses the odd quote when relating an interesting story. Reported speech can be found in business writing, journalistic writing, and again, in everyday speech. This module introduces reported speech in six one- hour lessons. Each lesson has similar components: a note to the teacher, power point slides with explanations of key features, practice exercises for the student, homework exercises and an answer key.

Verbs Used to Report Speech The most common reporting verbs are say and tell. In journalism, say is used almost exclusively. PP9 Using Say and Tell to Report Speech After say, you need a noun clause, which may be introduced by that. Quoted: “I will be late for the meeting,” Tom said. Reported: Tom said (that) he would be late for the meeting.
