Reported Speech (Indirect Speech) is when you tell someone what another person said. "She said she didn't like my joke". "He asked if I had lost my sense of humor".

We have to change tenses and some other words in such sentences. It seems rather difficult at first sight. But after this short online course it will all make sense to you. We do not offer to learn numerous rules by heart - we suggest relying on logic and common sense. Only one rule called "step back" will help you deal with all the cases of Reported Speech.

Our fabulous Joker comics will make this grammar lesson very simple for you to understand and remember. Hit the "Buy" button and take a course on Reported Speech now. English online has never been so lit!
