I'M SELLING...
An engagement ring
BECAUSE...
Found out my engagement ring was bought 8 years ago
when we've only been together for 4. It was for his EX!
MY BOUNCE BACK PLAN IS...
Put it in my son's college fund account.
I'M SELLING...
1963 ink and watercolor, estate stamped on verso, 15
3/8 x 20. Professionally matted and framed.
BECAUSE...
My first job out of college I made a pittance because
of the whole no experience but no one wants to hire someone until she has
experience conundrum.. I worked for two art dealers who moonlighted as PR
people. I needed the PR experience and was happy to have a job (I had student
loans to pay), so I took the job. My first performance review came up and
because they couldn't afford to give me a raise, they presented me with this
piece of art. Frankly, it's not really my taste and I don't care for the
artist. I've held onto it for all these years because...well, it's fine art and
it felt wrong to get rid of it. But I just don't give it the appreciation it
deserves, so it's time to rehome it.
MY BOUNCE BACK PLAN IS...
Treat myself and my loved ones to some little
luxuries.

Verb changes in reported speech:
Indirect speech: changes to
adverbs and demonstratives
We often change demonstratives (this, that) and
adverbs of time and place (now, here, today, etc.) because indirect
speech happens at a later time than the original speech, and perhaps in a
different place.

Indirect
speech: reporting questions
Reporting yes-no questions and alternative questions
Indirect reports of yes-no questions
and questions with or consist of a reporting clause and a
reported clause introduced by if or whether. If is
more common thanwhether. The reported clause is in statement form
(subject + verb), not question form:
She asked if [S] [V]I was Scottish. (originalyes-no question: ‘Are
you Scottish?’)
The waiter asked whether [S]we [V]wanted a table near the
window. (original yes-noquestion: ‘Do you want a
table near the window?)
He asked me if [S] [V]I had come by train or by bus. (original
alternative question:‘Did you come by train or by bus?’)
Reporting wh-questions
Indirect reports of wh-questions consist
of a reporting clause, and a reported clause beginning with a wh-word
(who, what, when, where, why, how). We don’t use a question mark:
He asked me what I
wanted.
Not: He asked me what I wanted?
The reported clause is in statement form (subject +
verb), not question form:
She wanted to know who [S]we [V]had invited to
the party.
Not: … who had we invited …
Who, whom and what
In indirect questions with who, whom andwhat,
the wh-word may be the subject or the object of the reported
clause:
I asked them who came
to meet them at the airport. (who is
the subject ofcame; original question: ‘Who came to meet you at
the airport?’)
He wondered what the
repairs would cost. (what is
the object of cost; original question: ‘What will the
repairs cost?’)
The reported clause is in statement form (subject +
verb), not question form:
She asked us what [S]we [V]were doing.(original
question: ‘What are you doing?’)
Not: She asked us what were we doing?
When, where, why and how
We also use statement word order (subject + verb)
with when, where, why andhow:
I asked her when [S]it [V]had happened(original
question: ‘When did it happen?’).
Not: I asked her when had it happened?
I asked her where [S]the bus station [V]was. (original
question: ‘Where is the bus station?’)
Not: I asked her where was the bus station?
The teacher asked them how [S]they [V]wanted to
do the activity. (original question: ‘How do you want to do
the activity?’)
Not: The teacher asked them how did they want to
do the activity?
Indirect
speech: reporting commands
Indirect reports of commands consist of a reporting
clause, and a reported clause beginning with a to-infinitive:
The General ordered the
troops to advance. (original
command:‘Advance!’)
The chairperson told him to
sit down and to stop interrupting. (original command: ‘Sit down and stop interrupting!’)
We also use a to-infinitive clause in
indirect reports with other verbs that mean wanting or getting people to do
something, for example, advise, encourage, warn:
They advised me to wait till
the following day. (original
statement: ‘You should wait till the following day.’)
The guard warned us not
to enter the area. (original
statement: ‘You must not enter the area.’)
