What is reported speech? What "to report" means is to say something that has been said before. So really what we're doing is we're repeating something that somebody said earlier. And that's what reported speech is - we're reporting what we can call direct speech. Today, I'll discuss using questions, adverbs and imperatives with reported speech.  See transcript at: https://www.practisingenglish.com/practising-english-8.htm
