Step 5 Group work

1. In groups of four, think of at least three commands your teachers and parents usually give.

You may follow these steps.

1) Choose one who is to give the first command.

2) Ask another person in your group to tell somebody what you said.

3) The third person will change the request or command from direct into indirect speech.

4) Change role so that each person gets the chance to give commands and turn them into indirect speech.

Example:

T: Please don't talk in class.

S1: What did our teacher tell us? / What did our teacher say?

S2: He told/asked us not to talk in class. / She said not to talk in class.
