What is Reported Speech?
To repeat peoples words without usingthe exact same words. What are you going to have for lunch?
What did you see at the cinema last time you went?
What are you going to do tomorrow night?
What do you like doing in your free time? ONE MONTH LATER. Your answers will have to be reported as time, places and people references willbe different. Lets try with your answers!
