Okay, s So as I said today, we're going to talk about reporting speech, reporting speech.

So, as always, if you have not already, please make sure to like and share the video.

So other learners confined today's lesson.

I'm going to share the video, and then I'm going to begin, so we're going to start today's lesson with a background point.

By that, I mean, we're going to start the lesson by talking about something that's important for all of these verbs, not just for one verb.

So that is this point right here before we talk about today's verbs and the example sentences.

I want to talk about this point first, when you want to report something like your friend told you something, or your boss like someone's words when you want to report that first, choose your tents, choose your tents.

So that means if you want to talk about a past conversation, so it happened yesterday or last week.

If you want to talk about a past conversation, this verb like, say, or tell or whatever should be in past tense past tense.

If you want to talk about something that's true now, something that is true now use present tense use.

Present tense will cover some examples of these, if you want to talk about something regularly set so something regularly said means something that someone often says.

So they didn't say it just one time.

They say it every day or they say every month.

In that case, use present, tense, present tense.

And are you making a guess about the future?

Are you talking about the future conversation imagining a future conversation?

In that case, use a future tense expression like will or going to.

So please keep in mind these points how to choose your tents for your verb here.

So please think about this as we go through today's lesson.

Oh, good.

Okay, so with that in mind, let's take a look at our first verb.

Our first verb, for today's lesson is the verb, say say so, say past tense is said said So.

All right, here, past tense is said, S A.

I.

D.

We use, say, for a neutral report of speech, so it's not positive.

It's not negative.

It's just a basic report of speech.

For example, my neighbor said our music was too loud, my neighbor said our music was too loud, so we know from this past tense use of said that this is a past conversation.

Our neighbor said our music was too loud, so this could be yesterday.

For example, our music was too loud yesterday or last night.

Another example.

My friend says Crazy things on Twitter.

My friend says crazy things on Twitter in this sentence may be hard to see in this sentence I'm using, says says, S A.

Y s.

This is a present tense use of the verb.

My friend says Crazy things on Twitter again.

I'm using this present tense because this is a regular occurrence.

This is something that happens often, so not.

My friend said something crazy on Twitter.

My friend said something crazy means that was one time.

This sentence in present tense means my friend often says crazy things on Twitter.

That's the difference between said and says.

In a situation like this, Okay, and please feel free to send your example sentences in two.

Let's take a look.

Then, at a future tense example.

For example, if I quit my job, if I quit my job Oh, my market, I'd okay my parents, my parents, I will probably say my parents will probably say so.

Here.

This is a future tense part of a future tense expression.

I'm crazy.

I'm crazy.

So in this sentence, I'm making a guess.

I'm making a guess.

If I quit my job, I'm using an if conditional here.

Yah, If I quit my job, my parents here's my future.

Will probably will.

Probably.

So I'm making a guess about the future.

Will probably say so.

There's no change to the verb here, but I am making a future expression.

I'm talking about the future here.

My parents will probably say I'm crazy.

Okay, so, uh, I'll look for some examples now on YouTube, David says, My friend says Alicia is an amazing teacher.

Wu, your friend in school.

Thanks.

Okay.

Uh, Anna says my teacher said yesterday, Anna, you are amazing.

Great.

That's awesome.

Very nice.

Okay, good one.

Um, a mirror on YouTube says my teacher Alicia's said the YouTube users are noisy.

Nice.

Cendant's nice sentence.

You guys are great.

You're not noisy.

You're not noisy.

Okay.

Uh, Nick.

Gold paddle four.

Says my friends says he wants to go to Italy.

Perfect.

So my friend says he wants to go to Italy.

Means that something regular.

That's something your friend regularly often said on Facebook on Facebook.

A messiah, he says.

Someone says it is not true.

Okay, that's that could be good.

That could be good.

Uh, Juma says I said that I was going home.

Perfect.

Nice one.

Ah, far, far away says.

My mom said I should be hitting the sack now.

Nice one.

That was really natural.

Great.

Great.

Nice expressions, everybody.

So this is how we use said for past conversations for regular things and to make future expressions to make a guess about the future.

Okay, on.

And if you have any questions, please send those along, too.

But maybe today is a good chance to practice a lot of sentences.

All right.

Excellent with that.

Then, before we go to part two, I will take a short break and introduced a couple pdf.

I showed you last week, Uh, some of these for sure, but we can use this camera today.

Yes.

Cool.

Here we go.

Okay.

So I want to share a couple of the pdf so I thought would be useful.

1st 1 is this business English one.

This topic.

Today's topic is super important for but business meetings.

So please check out this list of vocabulary and phrases you can use for business meetings.

And if you have an emergency, this'll one is new.

This is a new one.

Emergency words.

This is a new PdF.

This one has vocabulary for emergencies.

But I thought on the back when speaking to like police or speaking to someone in an emergency, thes are expressions you can use for that conversation.

And so when you need to talk about when you need to explain something, someone else said, this is what you need to do these air the I thought this would go well, So these are a couple examples.

I will show you some more later, but you can download these from the link below the video if you're watching on YouTube or above the video.

If you are watching on Facebook, Okay, so let's continue on to part two.

Yes, you confined this.

Check the link in the description on YouTube.

If you're watching on YouTube, check the link above like the chat box.

If you're watching it big on Facebook, All righty.

Let's move on.

We'll continue on the next part.

I'm going to talk about using, tell and talk, tell and talk.

Also quick reminder.

If you have not already, please make sure to like and share the video so others can find today's lesson.

Okay, let's continue to using Tell the verb tell.

So tell.

I have a beautiful artist's rendering.

Beautiful graphic here tell We used tell for one way conversations so not 100% 1 way.

One way conversation means like one person does lots and lots of talking.

So yes, there are two people in this situation.

Yes, but when we use tell, it's like one person shares a lot of information and the other person listens to that information.

So tell is used to describe this sort of conversational relationship.

So some examples.

My teacher told me I failed the test.

My teacher told me I failed the test.

So tell in past tense is told.

Told my teacher told me I failed the test.

Another example.

Tell me about your vacation.

Tell me about your vacation so you'll notice when we use the verb tell we follow it with something like me here in these examples, I've used me so this shows the person receiving the information.

We can change this.

Me to someone else.

Like my teacher told my mom I failed the test or my teacher told my roommate I failed the test.

My T shirt.

My teacher told him I failed the test so we can change this word after the verb to change the person receiving the information.

So this is how we show the relationship, the person speaking and the person receiving the information in these very one way conversations.

Okay, some good examples Air coming in, Paolino says Tell me about your family.

Great.

Great.

Okay, let's take a look at Let's look at a future.

A future tense example.

So, uh, this one.

So if we want to use this with a future expression, we could use something like going too.

So when I talked about using, say we used will, probably for the future.

But you can also use going Thio.

Thank you.

Okay.

But also use going Thio here.

I'm going t o something.

I'm going D'oh!

Till till my boss.

About a new idea.

A new idea.

So this is an example of a future tense expression?

Yes.

The verb tell remains the same but we put it together with a future tense expression.

I'm going to tell my boss about a new idea and native speed.

This would sound like I'm gonna tell my boss about a new idea.

So that's how we have.

That's how quickly we would say this.

I'm gonna tell my boss about a new idea.
