Direct and indirect speech

What is Direct Speech?

l Consider the following sentence:

Rama said : ' A fine lesson will be taught to the wicked Ravana.'

The given sentence is in direct speech.

• Here the exact words of the speaker have been put within quotation marks.

• There is a colon after 'said'.
• The first word inside the quotation marks starts with a capital letter.

What is an indirect speech then?

Let's consider the indirect speech of the sentence under consideration ,

Rama said (that) a fine lesson would be taught to the wicked Ravana. 

In Indirect speech:

• The quotation marks as well as the colon after said are removed.
• The conjunction “that” introduces to us the words (not exact) spoken by the speaker. However the latest trend is to drop 'that'

Telephoning in English

Useful vocabulary for making telephone calls in English.

Spelling

If you need to spell your name, or take the name of your caller, the biggest problem is often saying vowel sounds:

• 'a' is pronounced as in 'may'
• 'e' is pronounced as in 'email' or 'he'
• 'i' is pronounced as in 'I' or 'eye'
• 'o' is pronounced as in 'no'
• 'u' is pronounced as 'you'

Saying consonants

• 'g' is pronounced like the 'j' in 'jeans'
• 'j' is pronounced as in 'DJ' or 'Jane'
• 'w' is pronounced 'double you'
• 'x' is pronounced 'ex'
• 'y' is pronounced 'why'
• 'z' is pronounced 'zed' (rhymes with 'bed' in British English), or 'zee' (rhymes with 'sea' in American English).

Tip: Keep a note of how you say these letters by your telephone.

Giving numbers

• Here's a phone number: 0171 222 3344

And here's how to say it:

• "Oh-one-seven-one, triple two, double three, double four."

OR

• "Zero-one-seven-one, triple two, double three, double four."

Pausing

• When you say a seven digit number, separate the number into two blocks of three and four, pausing after each block.

Each digit is spoken separately, unless it's a double or triple. If the second part of the number was '5555', you'll probably find it easier to say 'double five – double five'.

Saying email addresses

• @ is pronounced 'at'. For instance, caimin@clara.net is "caimin, at, clara, dot, net".
• / is "forward slash".
• - is called a "hyphen" or a "dash".
• _ is an "underscore".

Example telephone dialogues

Here are examples of typical telephoning language:

• Getting through

You: "Can I speak to (Mr Smith), please?" or "Is (Mr Smith) there, please?"

Receptionist: "May I ask who's calling?" or "Could I have your name, please?"

You: "Yes, this is Tom McIvor speaking."

Many British people don't identify themselves when they make or receive a phone call. Even at home, they normally pick up the phone and say "Hello". But they won't be offended if you ask for their name.

Leaving or taking a message

• Receptionist:

"I'm afraid Mr Smith is…
… out of the office today."
… off sick today."
… in a meeting."
… on holiday."
or "I'm afraid his line is engaged."

"…Would you like to leave a message?"

• You: "Could you ask him to call me back?" or "Could you ask him to return my call?"
• Receptionist: "Does he have your number?" or "What's your number, please?"

The receptionist uses "I'm afraid" or "I'm sorry" if he or she can't connect you.

If the receptionist doesn't offer to take a message, you can ask to leave one.

• You: "Could I leave a message, please?"
• Receptionist: "Yes, certainly." or "Yes, of course."

How to use abbreviations

When we speak, we often abbreviate words. We also shorten words when we write text messages (SMS). Here's a handy guide to some of the more common abbreviations.

• Speaking

gonna = is / am going to (do something)
"I'm gonna call him now."

Learn English with television

Television is great for learning English. The pictures make it easier to understand than radio and because you can see who's talking, you get a better idea of what people mean. Just watch their "body language"!

Watch programmes that you find enjoyable and entertaining – whatever you watch will help you to improve your English.

Here's the english-at-home.com guide to learning as much as possible while watching English television:

• Only watch programmes you find interesting. Learning English should be fun – not something you have to force yourself to do. If you have a passion for football, watch matches or the sports news.
• Keep a notebook near to your television, so that you can jot down any new words or expressions that you hear. This is especially useful if the programme you are watching has been subtitled into your language.
• Try to watch English television regularly. Even if you can only watch 15 minutes a day, you'll be amazed how much you learn.
• Don't worry if you don't understand everything – English television is normally aimed at native English language speakers. Programmes often include difficult words and expressions. If the programme you're watching is full of unknown words, just concentrate on understanding the general meaning.
• Even cartoons and children's programmes are useful when learning English and quiz shows are useful for learning how to ask and answer questions in English.
• Keep a note of television programmes and presenters that you find easy to understand and try to watch them regularly. Doing this will increase your confidence and give you a sense of achievement.

Quotation Marks rules

Quotation marks

Make and Let

In English, the verbs "make" and "let" are followed by an object and the infinitive without "to":

• They can't make you work late.
• She made him do the exercise again.
• She lets the students sing in class.
• His parents let him paint his room black.
• Be careful: in the passive, "make" is followed by the infinitive with "to":
• They were made to do the exercise again.
• "Have" can also be used in this pattern:
• Please have your secretary call me as soon as possible.
• (Please ask your secretary to call me…)
