Let\u00b4s start by making some sentences using Spanish reported speech. I will tell you some sentences and I would like you to transform them to reported speech using \u201cDijo que\u201d. For example, if I say \u201cHace mucho calor\u201d you should say \u201cDijo que hac\u00eda mucho calor\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tengo fr\u00edo.<br \/>\nHe terminado de estudiar.<br \/>\nEstoy cansada.<br \/>\nMe gusta ir a la playa.<br \/>\nAna quiere venir con nosotros.<br \/>\nYa hab\u00eda visto esta pel\u00edcula antes.<br \/>\nHemos estado en Barcelona muchas veces.<br \/>\nNo s\u00e9 nadar.<br \/>\nEstamos muy contentos.<br \/>\nEstudi\u00e9 mucho para el examen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, please translate the following sentences from Spanish to English:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El m\u00e9dico me dice siempre que tengo que comer m\u00e1s fruta.<br \/>\nEl m\u00e9dico medijo que tengo que beber mucha agua.<br \/>\nMi profesor me dijo que ten\u00eda que estudiar m\u00e1s.<br \/>\nCarlos dijo que estaba aburrido.<br \/>\nSonia dice que ya ha estado aqu\u00ed antes.<br \/>\nSonia dijo que ya hab\u00eda estado aqu\u00ed antes.<br \/>\nMe dijeron que este restaurante es muy caro.<br \/>\nAna dice que necesita unas vacaciones.<br \/>\nAyer dijiste que hoy ten\u00edas que trabajar.<br \/>\nPedro siempre dice que trabaja demasiado.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Finally, please translate the following sentences from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My grandmother says that I am perfect.<br \/>\nThey said that they were the best.<br \/>\nSara told me that she liked a lot this book.<br \/>\nAntonio says that he cannot understand anything.<br \/>\nMar\u00eda and Alberto say that they are getting married this year.<br \/>\nLola told me that the Spanish lesson was very good fun.<br \/>\nYou always say that next time you will study more.<br \/>\nPablo said that he would come today.<br \/>\nCarmen says that you have to watch this movie.<br \/>\nThey say that doing exercise is good for health.<\/p>\n<p>This is all for today. <\/p>\n<p>I hope this practice lesson has helped you to understand what Spanish reported or indirect speech is and how to use it correctly.
