TEFL in Canada - Toronto

This unit helped me to break down and understand the way we report speech--a very common practice and experience to native English speakers, but there are indeed other parts of this process to be aware of that won't be as natural to students learning English. With this in mind, I now have a better understanding of how I can convey the ways there are to communicate to another person what someone else has already said.This unit deals with the difficult subjects of conditionals and reported speech. The five main conditional tenses are a tricky area for native and non native speakers alike. Knowing when to use each one is challenging. Reported speech is much more straight forward as the changes can be learned fairly easily.The present tense gets changed to its past equivalent and the past gets changed to the past perfect equivalent.
