  Let’s learn itthrough music! ■ The Scientist- Coldplay ■ WHAT’S THE SONG ABOUT? ■ WHERE CAN YOU FIND REPORTED SPEECH? “Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard”
• 3.
  When to useit ■ If you want to repeat what somebody else said, wrote or thought, you have two options: direct reported speech or indirect reported speech. In direct reported speech, you put what the person said in quotation marks (“”): Nobody said, “It’s easy.” No-one said, “It will be hard”. ■ Indirect reported speech is where you change the speaker’s original words by indirectly reporting what they said. Such sentences are made up of two parts: a reporting clause and a reported clause: Nobody said, “It’s easy” (Direct) Nobody said it was easy. (Indirect- from the song) REPORTING CLAUSE REPORTED CLAUSE

  REPORTED QUESTIONS (WH-QUESTIONS) ■ Totransform a wh-question into indirect reported speech, we move the wh-word to the beginning of the reported clause and use the affirmative, not the interrogative. He asked, “What am I doing here? (Direct) He asked what he was doing there (Indirect)
• 9.
  REPORTED QUESTIONS (YES-NO QUESTIONS) ■If we have a “yes”-”no” question, we use “if” or “whether” instead of the wh- question after the reporting verb and, then, the affirmative. A good example of this is the song "Somewhere only we know” by Keane. Tim from Keane asked, “Is this place that I’ve been dreaming of?” (Direct) Tim from Keane asked if/whether that was the place he’d been dreaming of (Indirect)

  REPORTED REQUESTS ANDCOMMANDS TO ASK/TELL + OBJECT + (NOT) + INFINITIVE WITH “TO” ■ The difference between requests (peticiones) and commands (órdenes) is that acommands are orders and requestes are not. For indirect reported requests, we usually use the verb “to ask+ object (him/her)+ (not)+ infinitive with “to”. For indirect reported commands, we usually use the verb “to tell+ object (him/her) (not)+ infinitive with “to”. Let’s take this example from David Bowie’s Space Oddity: Ground control said to Major Tom, “Take your protein pills”. (Direct) Ground control asked Major Tom to take his protein pills. (Indirect- request) Ground control told Major Tom to take his protein pills. (Indirect- order)
