The document discusses indirect speech and how modal verbs are used when changing direct speech to indirect speech. It provides examples of direct speech using modal verbs like "will", "can", "may", "must", and "have to" and shows how they change or "backshift" to "would", "could", "might", "had to", and "had to" respectively when converting to indirect speech. Some modal verbs like "should", "ought to", "would", "could", and "might" do not backshift when used in indirect speech. Perfect modal verbs also do not backshift in indirect speech.

INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS Look at the following conversation…
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We have to expand our businesses in China.
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We have to expand our businesses in China. The manager said that we had to expand our businesses in China.
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We have to expand our businesses in China. The manager said that we had to expand our businesses in China. When we say what other person said, it is called “INDIRECT SPEECH”. Look in this conversation how the verb “HAVE” changes to past in the INDIRECT SPEECH. INDIRECT SPEECH
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS Look at this other conversation…
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We sold 1’000.000 computers in China
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We sold 1’000.000 computers in China Action in Past
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We sold 1’000.000 computers in China The manager said that we had sold 1’000’000 computers in China. Action in Past
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We sold 1’000.000 computers in China The manager said that we had sold 1’000’000 computers in China. INDIRECT SPEECH (in Past) Action in Past
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS We sold 1’000.000 computers in China The manager said that we had sold 1’000’000 computers in China. In this case, notice that the verb “SOLD” changes to its PAST PERFECT form (HAD SOLD) because the INDIRECT SPEECH is referring to an action in the past. When the verb changes from one tense to another, it is called “BACKSHIFT” INDIRECT SPEECH (in Past) Action in Past
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS Let’s talk about MODAL VERBS in the INDIRECT SPEECH
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS First, let’s remember some MODAL VERBS and what they express…
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS MODAL VERBS
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS MODAL VERBS WILL  To express future.

INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS MODAL VERBS WILL  To express future. CAN To express ability or possibility. MAY To express possibility. MUST To express obligation or logical conclusion. HAVE TO To express obligation or need. This MODAL VERBS also “BACKSHIFT”
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I forgot to send the report! I will send it in 5 minutes.
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I forgot to send the report! I will send it in 5 minutes. Mark forgot to send the report! He said that he would send it in 5 minutes.

INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I forgot to send the report! I will send it in 5 minutes. Mark forgot to send the report! He said that he would send it in 5 minutes. To use the modal verb “WILL” in INDIRECT SPEECH you have to BACKSHIFT it. The BACKSHIFT of WILL is WOULD INDIRECT SPEECH
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS Let’s see the MODAL VERBS and their BACKSHIFT IN INDIRECT SPEECH…
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS MODAL VERBS WILL  WOULD CAN  COULD MAY  MIGHT MUST  HAD TO HAVE TO  HAD TO
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS MODAL VERBS WILL  WOULD CAN  COULD MAY  MIGHT MUST  HAD TO HAVE TO  HAD TO If this MODAL VERB is used in the DIRECT SPEECH… You have to use this form (BACKSHIFT)
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I forgot to send the report! I can send it in 5 minutes. Direct Speech
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I forgot to send the report! I can send it in 5 minutes. Mark forgot to send the report! He said that he could send it in 5 minutes. Direct Speech

INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS More Examples….

INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I am arriving a little late. I may be there soon. John called. He said that he might be here soon. INDIRECT SPEECH Direct Speech
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I am arriving a little late. I may be there soon. John called. He said that he might be here soon. INDIRECT SPEECH Direct Speech If the DIRECT SPEECH uses “MAY” in the INDIRECT SPEECH “MAY” changes to “MIGHT.”
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS An example with the modal verb MUST…

INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS I must finish this for tomorrow. Direct Speech “He said that he had to finish this for tomorrow” If the DIRECT SPEECH uses “MUST” in the INDIRECT SPEECH “MUST” changes to “HAD TO.” INDIRECT SPEECH
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS Some modals DON’T BACKSHIFT!
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS MODAL VERBS WOULD COULD MIGHT SHOULD OUGHT TO When these MODAL VERBS are used in the DIRECT SPEECH, they DON’T BACKSHIFT in the INDIRECT SPEECH.
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS Oh, my God!! We are late!! We should hurry to catch the school bus!!! Direct Speech
INDIRECT SPEECH WITH MODALS Oh, my God!! We are late!! We should hurry to catch the school bus!!! Direct Speech “She said that they should hurry to catch the school bus” INDIRECT SPEECH
