Reported Speech: Statements and Questions

1 · Notice

The new intern told her supervisor that she had already sent the email twice.
My brother said he was going to sort things out with our neighbour that evening.
The counsellor asked the students if they wanted to talk about the disagreement.
She asked her colleague why he hadn't mentioned the problem earlier.

B Build sentences

Use the cues to build true reported-speech sentences.

Ayşe / say 'I / feel / left out'
✓ Ayşe said (that) she felt left out.
the manager / tell / the team 'we / need / to talk about / this / openly'
Your sentence
Model answer
The manager told the team (that) they needed to talk about it openly.

? / the mediator / ask / both sides 'what / would / help / you / most?'
Your sentence
Model answer
The mediator asked both sides what would help them most.

C Your turn

Think of a real or imagined disagreement. Write four sentences reporting what each person said or asked, using reported statements and reported questions.

She told me that…He said he…I asked him why…They asked us if…

Rule

In reported speech, the reporting verb (said, told, asked) is usually in the Simple Past, and the tense of the original words backshifts one step: 'I am' → 'was'; 'I did' → 'had done'. In reported questions, we use the question word or if/whether, but keep statement word order (no auxiliary before the subject) and no question mark.

TRReported speech (aktarılan konuşma) kullanırken, konuşma fiili (said, told, asked) genellikle Simple Past'te olur ve alıntılanan cümledeki fiil bir zaman geriye kayar (backshift): 'I am' → 'was'; 'I did' → 'had done'. Soru cümlelerinde soru sözcüğü ya da if/whether kullanılır, ancak kelime sırası düz bir cümle gibi olur (yardımcı fiil özneden önce gelmez) ve soru işareti kullanılmaz.

When?

We use reported speech to tell someone else what a person said or asked — especially useful for explaining exactly who said what during a disagreement.

TRBirinin ne söylediğini ya da sorduğunu — özellikle bir anlaşmazlık ya da tartışma sırasında kimin ne dediğini — başka birine aktarırken reported speech kullanırız.

3 · Form

Positive

She said (that) she was sorry.
He told me he had already apologised.

Negative

He said he hadn't meant to shout.
She told us she didn't agree with the decision.

Question

She asked if I was free to talk.
He asked why they hadn't sorted it out sooner.

Short answers

He said he was. / He said he wasn't.
Reported questions have no short answers — restate the full clause instead.

Mistakes

She said that she is sorry.She said that she was sorry.
When the reporting verb is in the Simple Past, the quoted verb usually backshifts too.
TRBildiren fiil Simple Past olduğunda, alıntılanan cümledeki fiil de genellikle bir zaman geriye kaymalıdır.
He asked did I agree with him.He asked if I agreed with him.
In reported questions, the auxiliary does not come before the subject; use statement word order.
TRReported sorularda yardımcı fiil özneden önce gelmez; düz cümle sırası kullanılır.
She asked me what did I want.She asked me what I wanted.
Wh-questions also use statement word order (subject + verb); the auxiliary 'did' disappears.
TRWh- sorularında da düz cümle sırası (özne + fiil) kullanılır; yardımcı fiil 'did' düşer.

First & Second Conditional: Offering Solutions and Advice

1 · Notice

If we talk about it honestly, we'll probably find a solution.
If I were you, I would apologise before things get worse.
If both sides listen to each other, the tension will ease.
If we had a mediator, the discussion would be much fairer.

Which sentences describe a realistic condition and its likely result, and which describe a less likely, imagined or advice-giving situation? What verb form follows 'if' in each type?

B Build sentences

Use the cues to build sentences offering a solution or piece of advice. Choose the first or second conditional.

if / they / talk / calmly they / find / a solution
✓ If they talk calmly, they'll find a solution.
if / you / apologise / first she / probably / forgive / you
Your sentence
Model answer
If you apologise first, she'll probably forgive you.
if / I / be / you I / not ignore / the problem
Your sentence
Model answer
If I were you, I wouldn't ignore the problem.
if / both sides / listen / to each other the conflict / calm down
Your sentence
Model answer
If both sides listen to each other, the conflict will calm down.
if / we / have / a mediator the discussion / be / much fairer
Your sentence
Model answer
If we had a mediator, the discussion would be much fairer.
? / what / you / do if / your / best friend / stop / talking to you
Your sentence
Model answer
What would you do if your best friend stopped talking to you?

C Your turn

Think of a disagreement (real or invented). Write four conditional sentences offering solutions or advice — use both the first and second conditional.

If they talk about it, …If I were them, I would…If we don't sort this out, …What would you do if…?

Rule

Use the First Conditional for a realistic condition and its likely future result: If + Simple Present, ... will + verb. Use the Second Conditional for a less likely, hypothetical or advice-giving situation: If + Past Simple (usually 'were' for 'be'), ... would + verb. 'If I were you, I would…' is a very common way to give advice.

TRGerçekleşmesi olası bir durumu ve sonucunu anlatırken First Conditional kullanılır: If + Simple Present, ... will + fiil. Daha az olası, hayali ya da tavsiye niteliğindeki durumlar için Second Conditional kullanılır: If + Past Simple (be fiili için genellikle 'were'), ... would + fiil. 'If I were you, I would...' kalıbı, tavsiye vermenin çok yaygın bir yoludur.

When?

We use the First Conditional to offer a realistic solution to a conflict, and the Second Conditional to discuss a hypothetical situation or to give someone advice.

TRBir anlaşmazlığa gerçekçi bir çözüm önerirken First Conditional; hayali bir durumu tartışırken ya da birine tavsiye verirken Second Conditional kullanırız.

3 · Form

Positive

If we talk about it, we'll sort it out.
If I were you, I would apologise.

Negative

If we don't compromise, the tension won't go away.
If she weren't so proud, she wouldn't refuse to talk.

Question

Will they make up if we explain the misunderstanding?
What would you do if you were in this situation?

Short answers

Yes, they probably will. / No, they probably won't.
I would talk to them. / I wouldn't say anything.

Mistakes

If we will talk about it, we'll find a solution.If we talk about it, we'll find a solution.
The if-clause never uses 'will'; use the Simple Present instead.
TRIf cümleciğinde 'will' kullanılmaz; Simple Present kullanılır.
If I was you, I would apologise.If I were you, I would apologise.
In the second conditional, the standard form of 'be' is 'were' for every subject, especially in this fixed phrase.
TRSecond conditional'da 'be' fiili için standart kullanım her özneyle 'were'dir, özellikle bu kalıpta.
If they listened to each other, they will solve it.If they listened to each other, they would solve it.
Don't mix the two conditional types — both clauses should match: either both First or both Second conditional.
TRİki farklı koşul cümlesi karıştırılmamalı: her iki cümlecik de ya First ya da ikisi de Second conditional olmalı.

Look at the title. What kind of conflict do you think this story is about?
Have you ever disagreed with a neighbour or classmate about something small that grew into a bigger problem?

The Fence Between Us

When the Aydemirs planted a tall hedge along their garden fence, their neighbours, the Karas, were furious. The hedge blocked the afternoon sun from the Karas' vegetable patch, and within a week the two families were barely speaking. Mr Kara left an angry note; Mrs Aydemir replied with an even angrier one. What had started as a small disagreement over a few metres of greenery was quickly turning into a serious conflict between two families who had once shared coffee every weekend.

Eventually, a mutual friend suggested they invite a local mediator, someone trained to help neighbours sort out exactly this kind of dispute. In their first meeting, the mediator asked each side one simple question: 'What do you actually need, not just what do you want?' It turned out the Karas needed more light for their vegetables, while the Aydemirs needed privacy from a busy street. Once both families understood the other's real reason, the argument suddenly felt much smaller.

The solution wasn't complicated. The Aydemirs agreed to trim the hedge to waist height, keeping their privacy lower down while letting sunlight reach the vegetable patch. Neither family got exactly what they had first demanded, but both got what they truly needed. Six months later, the Karas and Aydemirs were sharing coffee again — and jokes about the infamous hedge.

Do you think it's fair to judge someone before hearing their side of the story?

Two Sides of the Story

When their teacher put Aslı, Burak and two classmates into a group project on renewable energy, nobody expected it to end in an argument. By the second week, Aslı had written most of the report herself, while Burak had missed two planning meetings without much explanation. 'He clearly doesn't care about the grade,' Aslı complained to her friends, refusing to speak to him directly.

When their teacher noticed the tension, she asked both students to explain their side privately before deciding anything. Burak admitted he had been working extra shifts at his family's shop after school and had simply lost track of the group's messages. Aslı, meanwhile, admitted she had never actually told him how much extra work she was doing — she had just assumed he knew.

With their teacher's help, the group redrew the task list, giving Burak a smaller, clearly defined part he could finish around his shifts, and giving Aslı credit for the sections she had already written. Their final presentation on solar energy went smoothly, and afterwards Burak thanked Aslı for not simply reporting him — while Aslı admitted she should have asked, instead of assumed, from the start.

Sorting It Out

1 Before listening

Predict: what kind of everyday disagreement do you think Zeynep and her flatmate had?

0:00

2 While listening

Transkripti göster

ZeynepSelin and I had a huge argument last night, all about the cleaning schedule.

FriendOh no, what happened?

ZeynepShe said I never do the dishes on time, and I said she never takes the rubbish out. It got pretty loud.

FriendDid you two talk about it after?

ZeynepYes, actually. This morning Selin asked if we could talk calmly instead of shouting, and I agreed.

FriendThat's good. So what did you decide?

ZeynepI really believe that making a proper rota might stop the arguments — if everyone knows exactly what to do and when.

FriendSounds sensible. What if it still doesn't work?

ZeynepThen I'll suggest asking our third flatmate to be a mediator, since she's always neutral.

FriendGood plan. I hope the rota works out.

Peer Mediators at Our School

1 Before listening

What do you predict a 'peer mediator' does at school?

2 While listening

Transkripti göster

ReporterMira, can you explain what a peer mediator actually does?

MiraSure. A peer mediator is a trained student who helps classmates sort out small conflicts before they get worse.

ReporterHow does a session usually work?

MiraThe mediator asks each person to explain their side and listen without interrupting, so both sides feel heard.

ReporterDoes the mediator decide who's right?

MiraNo, that's a common misunderstanding. The mediator doesn't decide who's right — we just help both sides listen to each other and find a solution together.

ReporterWhat happens with really serious problems?

MiraThose still go to a teacher. We only handle everyday disagreements, not serious issues.
