Quick Test #12 Pre-intermediate Past Perfect, Reported speech, questions without auxiliaries HD

Use the past perfect when you are already talking about the past and want to talk about an earlier past action. When I woke up the garden was all white. It had snowed during the night. = It snowed before I woke up. Make the past perfect with had / hadn’t + past participle. Be careful: ’d can be had or would. I didn’t know that you’d found a new job. (’d = had) If you went by taxi, you’d get there more quickly. (’d = would) Use reported speech to report (to tell somebody) what another person said. • We often introduce reported speech with said or told (+ person) • After said or told that is optional, e.g. He said (that) he loved me. • Pronouns often change in reported speech, e.g. I changes to he or she. ‘I’m tired.’ She told me (that) she was tired. When the question word (Who?, What?, Which?, How many?, etc.) is the subject of the verb in the question, we don’t use an auxiliary verb (do / does / did). Who painted Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy?
