[[Datei:Quotation marks.svg|500px|rahmenlos|center]]

'''Mini-Beschreibung:''' Improve a short text with typical mistakes in '''backshift, pronouns, time/place references, reported questions and commands'''. Explain selected changes and reuse the structures in a new situation.

'''Level:''' Klasse 9, E-Niveau, Englisch als erste Fremdsprache, Baden-Württemberg.

'''Learning loop:''' '''English first → understand → respond → ask → hint → improve → use again.'''

{{BR}}
= Einleitung =

In this challenge, you work like an editor. You do not only change grammar: you check whether the reported version still expresses the speaker's original meaning.

[[Datei:Speech balloon.svg|360px|rahmenlos|center]]

'''Important:''' Reported speech is not a mechanical tense-changing game. Context matters. A time or place word changes only when the new reporting situation makes a change necessary.

{{BR}}
== I-can-Ziele ==

After this aiMOOC, you can ...

# '''I can spot''' typical reported-speech errors in a longer text.
# '''I can edit''' backshift, pronouns and time/place references according to context.
# '''I can report''' questions with statement word order and commands with an infinitive structure.
# '''I can explain''' selected changes using short grammatical reasons.
# '''I can revise''' my own text and use the structures again in a new context.

{{BR}}
== Vorwissen aktivieren ==

Quick check. Say the direct sentence first. Then report it.

# “I am tired.” → He said ...
# “Do you know the answer?” → She asked ...
# “Please close the door.” → He asked me ...
# “I will finish it tomorrow.” → She said ...

'''Think before you change:''' Who is speaking? When is the report made? Where is the reporter now? Is the information still true?

{{BR}}
= Media warm-up =

{{#ev:youtube| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu-TZa-ZpGs |500|center}}

'''Viewing task:''' Watch a short part first without taking notes. Then watch again and collect three changes you notice when direct speech becomes reported speech. Compare your list with a partner.

'''Source check:''' Treat every grammar video as support, not as automatic truth. Check examples against your course rules and the context.

{{BR}}
= Reading: The editing challenge =

'''Context:''' Maya and Leo are fictional Year 9 students preparing a private school podcast draft. No real profile, account or social-media data is used.

'''Direct conversation on Monday:'''

Maya: “I will send you the audio tomorrow.”
Maya: “Do you have time today?”
Leo: “I am free here after school.”
Maya: “Don’t share the draft.”
Maya: “Where did you save the file?”
Leo: “I saved it on my laptop yesterday.”

'''Leo’s report on Wednesday contains several mistakes:'''

<blockquote>
Maya said me that she will send me the audio tomorrow. She asked did I have time today. I said that I am free here after school. Then she told that don’t share the draft. She asked where did I save the file. I told her that I saved it on my laptop yesterday.
</blockquote>

'''Your job:''' Find at least six points to edit. For four of them, add a reason such as '''backshift''', '''pronoun reference''', '''time reference''', '''question word order''' or '''command structure'''.

{{BR}}
== Understand before editing ==

Answer in English.

# What is Leo reporting?
# When did the original conversation happen?
# When is Leo writing the report?
# Which words depend on time or place?
# Which sentences are questions or commands?

[[Datei:Question Mark Icon.png|260px|rahmenlos|center]]

{{BR}}
== Backshift: use it with meaning ==

When the reporting verb is in the past, a past viewpoint is often shown by backshift.

{| class="wikitable"
! Direct speech
! Common reported form
|-
| am / is
| was
|-
| are
| were
|-
| will
| would
|-
| have / has
| had
|-
| did / past simple
| had done / past perfect, when the earlier time relation needs to be clear
|}

'''But:''' Do not backshift blindly. If a fact is still true or the speaker deliberately keeps it current, the original tense may remain possible.

{{BR}}
== Pronouns: follow the speaker and listener ==

“I will send '''you''' the file” can become “She said that '''she''' would send '''me''' the file” when Leo is reporting Maya’s words to himself as listener.

Ask: '''Who does each pronoun refer to now?'''

{{BR}}
== Time and place references ==

Possible changes include:

# '''today → that day'''
# '''tomorrow → the next day'''
# '''yesterday → the day before'''
# '''here → there'''

These changes depend on the new reporting situation. If the reporter is still in the same place or still speaking on the same day, a change may be unnecessary.

{{BR}}
== Reported questions ==

{{#ev:youtube| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQA2sMy7TrY |500|center}}

A reported question normally uses '''statement word order'''.

Direct: “Where did you save the file?”
Reported: She asked where I had saved the file.

For yes/no questions, use '''if''' or '''whether'''.

Direct: “Do you have time?”
Reported: She asked if I had time.

No question-mark structure is needed inside the reported clause: no '''did I''', no '''was he''', no '''do you'''.

{{BR}}
== Reported commands and requests ==

{{#ev:youtube| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0juuT6uDPc |500|center}}

A common pattern is:

'''tell / ask + object + to-infinitive'''

Direct: “Close the door.”
Reported: She told me to close the door.

Negative command:

Direct: “Don’t share the draft.”
Reported: She told me not to share the draft.

{{BR}}
= Hint ladder =

Use only as much help as you need.

'''Hint 1 – Spot the category:''' Check reporting verb, tense, pronoun, time/place word, question structure and command structure.

'''Hint 2 – Check the frames:'''
'''said that ...''' / '''told + person + that ...'''
'''asked if/whether ...''' / '''asked + question word + statement order'''
'''told/asked + person + not to ...'''

'''Hint 3 – Check the timeline:''' Monday = original speech. Wednesday = report. Decide whether '''today, tomorrow, yesterday''' still point to the same time.

{{BR}}
= Possible improved version =

One strong revision is:

<blockquote>
Maya told me that she would send me the audio the next day. She asked if I had time that day. I said that I was free there after school. Then she told me not to share the draft. She asked where I had saved the file. I told her that I had saved it on my laptop the day before.
</blockquote>

'''Editor note:''' Some context-sensitive alternatives can also be correct. For example, '''here''' may stay '''here''' if Leo is still reporting from the same place. A good explanation is more important than changing every reference automatically.

{{BR}}
= Listening / Viewing =

[[Datei:Headphones icon.svg|260px|rahmenlos|center]]

Choose one of the videos above.

'''First viewing:''' Listen for meaning. Do not stop after every sentence.

'''Second viewing:''' Pause after three examples. Say the direct version aloud, then the reported version.

'''Third viewing:''' Check whether the speaker changes tense, pronoun, time/place reference, or word order. Explain why.

Recordings are optional. Keep them private unless you actively choose otherwise. Do not upload recordings or personal data without permission.

'''Use again:''' Write two short reported-speech sentences with two different reporting verbs.

{{BR}}
= Aussprache und Fluency =

[[Datei:Listening.svg|300px|rahmenlos|center]]

Aim for '''clear meaning, not accent imitation'''.

Practise in chunks:

'''Maya told me / that she would send the audio / the next day.'''

Stress important content words. Keep the reporting clause smooth and do not pause after every word.

'''Fluency challenge:''' Report three lines from the original conversation without reading your written answer. Your partner may ask one spontaneous follow-up question.

{{BR}}
= Speaking =

Work with a partner.

Student A reads one direct-speech line. Student B reports it. Then swap roles.

After each report, ask one follow-up:

# “Why did you change that tense?”
# “Does this time word still fit?”
# “Who does this pronoun refer to?”
# “Could another version also be correct?”

'''E-level extension:''' Give two possible versions when context allows variation, and explain the difference in meaning or viewpoint.

{{BR}}
= Writing =

[[Datei:Icon Write.svg|260px|rahmenlos|center]]

'''Editing task:''' Write a 120–160 word report of a fictional school-project conversation. Include:

# one statement that needs backshift
# one pronoun change
# one time or place reference
# one reported yes/no or wh-question
# one reported command or request
# two different reporting verbs

Then revise your own text in two passes:

'''Pass 1: Meaning''' – Is the original message still accurate?
'''Pass 2: Form''' – Check tense, reference, word order and verb pattern.

Keep your own draft and show changes clearly. If you use digital or AI-supported feedback, check every suggestion yourself and keep your original wording available.

{{BR}}
= Mediation =

A German-speaking classmate asks what happened in the fictional podcast meeting. Give the '''key information in English''' for that person’s purpose. Do not translate every sentence. Select what matters and use reported speech where useful.

{{BR}}
= Feedback =

Use this short feedback frame:

'''Meaning:''' “Your report keeps / changes the original meaning because ...”

'''Grammar:''' “Check the structure after asked / told / said ...”

'''Context:''' “This time or place word depends on ...”

'''Next step:''' “Revise one sentence and use the same pattern in a new example.”

{{BR}}
= Can-do-Check =

Rate yourself: '''secure / nearly there / need a hint'''.

# I can distinguish '''said''' and '''told''' in common structures.
# I can backshift when the reporting viewpoint requires it.
# I can change pronouns without losing the reference.
# I can adapt time/place words to context.
# I can form reported questions with statement word order.
# I can form positive and negative reported commands.
# I can explain at least four edits.
# I can transfer the grammar to my own coherent text.

|type="{}"}
When a reporting verb is in the past, a tense may move back in a process called { backshift }. In a reported yes-no question, we can use { if }. A reported question normally uses { statement word order }. A negative command can use told plus object plus { not to }. Pronouns must match the new { reference }. Words such as tomorrow or here change only when the reporting { context } makes a change necessary.
