This teaching slides resource introduces quoted and reported speech and explores how each form shows what someone said, including the punctuation rules for writing quoted text. The slides cover what speech is, then work through each type - quoted text (exact words, quotation marks, comma placement before and after the dialogue tag) and reported text (own words, no quotation marks) - with a definition and examples for each.
Practice slides give students the chance to apply their understanding through a range of task types.
