[@alocottages3290]

Many thanks Lucy - very well explained 😀
I think there is a small error in your video at 6:47: you present the backshift from past simple to past perfect but the writing next to you says present simple instead of past simple.

[@Talhasarwar1]

U r correct.

[@jathebest2835]

@Ziad Ehab It depends. If there were three people including friend X, then it could mean she refers to the friend X.
In this case, she talks directly to the friend X(Lucy->Friend X) and I simply use the reporting message like "Lucy said she would call you(=friend X) later."

[@AdaDAdaD878]

Hi, Lucy, 🌺 I like your videos, I like the way you explain everything and I love your pronunciation.
Can you please make a video and talk about what resolution is, why is important, what we can do to stick with it etc, and generally some tips!
For example, if we need to give a presentation and talk about the resolution or if we have to write an essay, and I was wondering if you could give us some good ideas. I know you can, like always 😁
Thank you, Ada

[@le_vent9007]

Great suggestions. It helps correct my past and past perfect tenses.

[@mohsenyasmen4465]

[@user-no2mz9hl4f]

Excellent video as usual, Lucy! Even though I’m a native English speaker, I learnt a lot. I’d be interested in the topic of prefixes to names, such as Mr., Miss, Master, and Madam; and also familial prefixes, such as aunt, uncle, and cousin. When do these come up? In which contexts would one use these? Why do some people call a person Madam Smith, whilst others call her Ms. Smith? Why do some people call their older cousin Uncle Bob, whilst others call him Cousin Bob, and still others simply call him Bob? Do the rules of prefixes differ by geographical region (UK vs. US?), or by historical time period? Would love for you to consider making a video on this subject.

[@dinelkapeiris4708]

[@user-xk7dv1sm6b]

I like your lessons . Thank you so much Lucy ❤

[@h.s.4623]

Very helpful!

[@torieldom]

Hello Lucy! Shouldn't we also change the time indicators in the reported speech (next year -> the following year, yesterday -> the previous day, etc.)? I was taught it was mandatory.

[@canigetasmileplease7121]

Of course! It should be changed.

[@esquilax5563]

I would say you should change it if the original time indicator would no longer be correct relative to the present time. E.g., somebody tells you "I went to London yesterday", if you're talking about it on the same day, you can still say "she said she went to London yesterday". But if you talk about it on a later day, you'd say "she told me she went to London the day before" (or something that avoids relative times altogether, like "she told me she went to London on the 15th")
I'm a native speaker but I'm not a language teacher

[@pianopiano8345]

​@@esquilax5563I belive ur right my teacher said the same thing but if it's in an exam and you have both you should shift it

[@Balintrebeka]

This was great Lucy, thank you! One question: what if the reporting verb is in present? What happens with the rest of the sentence then? Thanks!

[@justthinkabout957]

I know ma'am

[@canigetasmileplease7121]

If the reporting verb in present tense then there will be no changes in the tense
Example:
She says,"I love chocolates" to
She says that she loves chocolates.

[@vesamas.r.oandassociates8857]

Thanks for your continuous perfect lessons.

[@xtrahdio]

It's just the lesson I needed! I love you Lucy, you're the best 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Amankumar-ec4gv]

After dear sir I found this channel 🤩

[@davidhoman3807]

Very good lesson! I have never heard of the term reported speech. I can see the concept, but never knew there was a name for it.
0:54 - “… instantaneously…”. Although this word is perfectly legitimate, I see people using it much more often instead of “… instantly…” . Likewise, I hear “as well” at the end of sentences much more than “also”. E.G., “ We say that as well.” Has anyone else noticed this?
I’m glad that she mentioned the word “that” does not necessarily need to be used. Sometimes people use it twice in a row, and you can see that one is sufficient, and in my following example, you need it at least once. For example “ I know that that is the way we do it..” I think in some of her sentences where she uses the word, she could have removed it there also.

[@user-nw8vl7ck2g]

Great! Thank you! It was really helpful!

[@danicah.650]

Lucy, this is really great video with perfect explanation. Well done!

[@jonathandearden6815]

Just to let you know - I think that there is an error at 5:33. The board says present simple when it should be past simple. Thanks for the video :)
