Reported speech questions

WH Questions:
When we tell the question to someone else, it isn't a question any more. So we need to change the grammar to a normal positive sentence.

• Direct: "Where does Peter live?"
• Indirect: She asked him where Peter lived.

Yes/No Questions (ask + if/whether + proposition):

• Direct: "Is it raining?"
• Indirect: She asked if it was raining.

Interrogative pronouns (ask + interrogative pronoun + proposition):

• Direct: The policeman said to the boy, "Where do you live?"
• Indirect: The policeman asked the boy where he lived.

How to write an essay?

Exist many kins of essays, but I'll focus on one: Compare and contrast Essay.
A comparative essay asks that you compare at least two (possibly more) items. These items will differ depending on the assignment. You might be asked to compare

• Positions on an issue (e.g., responses to midwifery in Canada and the United States)
• Theories (e.g., capitalism and communism)
• Figures (e.g., GDP in the United States and Britain)
• Texts (e.g., Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Macbeth)
• Events (e.g., the Great Depression and the global financial crisis of 2008–9)

You can organize the essay in this way:

Direct and Reported Speech

In the English class I learned about two different Speeches.

• Direct Speech

Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words.

Example: 

  He: "We/You will have quizzes every other Friday".

• Reported (Indirect) Speech

Indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', etc.

Example:

  He said we would have quizzes every other Friday.

If the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the tenses in the reported speech:

Corrections 2

For the English class I did a little essay about one question.
These were my results:

Corrections:
What would you do if you were able to read people's minds?
I would know what people think and use it to help them. For example if I read the mind of a person who feels sad, I'd try to help. Or if someone planning to commit a crime, I'd tell the authority.
