http://www.schooltube.com/video/8d94448e0ba3a3f756b9/
Write 5 sentences that you hear in quoted speech. There are many ways to do this. Please vary your style and word choice to make it interesting.
For instance,
"I heard you the first time," Ricky said to Lucy, "but what language is it?"
Part 2:
Reply to your own comment. WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO is to rewrite your original sentence in reported (indirect) speech.
For instance,
Ricky told Lucy that he had heard her the first time but that he didn't know what language it was.
"When you get started something you really go through it" Ricky said to Lucy.
ReplyDelete"What?"
"That's English?" Ricky said.
"When you spoken correctly you don't even recognize it do you?" Lucy said.
"How do you do Mr.Smith." Lucy said.
1. You're missing a comma.
Delete3. Correct.
4. Nearly correct.
5. Punctuation is incorrect.
1.Lucy said,"good evening" to Ricky
ReplyDelete2.Ricky said,"I heard you first time. what language is it?"
3.Ricky said,"Lucy you are not going to teach our child talking in that way, are you?"
4.Lucy said," Ricky promise me some thing."
5.Lucy said,"I haven't told you before, dear."
This is good, but I'd really like for you to vary the way you write the quotes. I'd like to see you put the quote at the beginning and also to break the quote into two parts.
Delete"how do you do Mrs. Smith?"
ReplyDelete"what did you say?"
"I said yes, but I wasn't sure if you were marrying me or taking me to a movie."
"That's what I always say"
"You can't understand me, can you?"
I have no idea who said what to whom.
DeletePlease redo!
Ricky told Lucy ,"what you language it is?"
ReplyDeleteLucy told Ricky ,"the language that I want to our child to learn good English."
Ricky asked Lucy,"That's English?"
Ricky told Lucy,"Now you are not going to teach our child about that way, are you?"
Lucy told Ricky," Promise me, until our child at least 18 to 20 years old, you won't talk to them."

1) Lucy told him, “The language that she wanted their child to learn, good English.”
ReplyDelete“The language that she wanted their child to learn,” Lucy told him, “good English”
2) Ricky said, “That was English?”
Sentence 2 needs a period at the end (inside the quotation).
Delete"I had a hard time to speak American," Ricky said. "Now I have to speak English?"
ReplyDeleteLucy told Ricky,"We are going to teach our child perfect English."
Delete"How do you do Mr.Smith?" Lucy asked.
