  Tell Ss to study the example first. Then they work in pairs to do the activity. Encourage them to talk as much as possible. Remember that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ as long as their sentences are grammatically correct. Move around the class and listen to Ss. If there is a point which everyone is confused about, bring the class back together and do a quick review of it.

Reported speech: Questions

- We use the verb ask when reporting questions. In reported questions we use the statement word order and the question mark is omitted.

- Remember that pronouns, possessive adjectives, verb tenses, and time expressions change in reported questions just an in reported statements. Look back at Unit 11 for a review of how they change.
