1st person pronouns
We use these pronouns as a sentence subject when talking about ourselves, or
about groups in which we belong

Example: We played monopoly last night
Note that 'I' and 'We' are used as the subject within this sentence

Example: I spoke to John about the homework
The object of this sentence can be changed using an object pronoun (him, her, it,
them) Look at the sentence now below
I spoke to him about the homework.
3rd person pronouns
We use third person pronouns to speak about the actions of others, singular and
plural (it, he, she, they)
We can also use the object pronouns when using 3rd person pronouns, as seen in the examples below
Trang 2Possessive adjectives
Possessives are used to attribute ownership of nouns to both the object and
subject pronouns (my, his, her, its, our, their)

Trang 3II Direct speech and Indirect (reported) speech
Convert the direct speech to indirect speech.
1 “I’m hungry,” said Ben
2 “What’s the time?” asked Tina
3 “I am not happy,” shouted the furious teacher
Direct Speech:
uses speech marks
uses punctuation (comma,
full-stop, question mark, or
exclamation mark) before
the second speech mark
uses the speaker’s actual
words
new speaker, new line
Reported Speech:
doesn’t use speech marks
changes pronouns, and often also changes word order
changes verb tenses (and time phrases if necessary)
usually starts by telling you who spoke
often uses “that…” – but you can omit it
Sometimes other words need to be changed or added, so that the sentence makes sense
Direct speech is when you write the actual words that a person has spoken.
We show this by putting speech marks (“ ”) around the spoken words
Example: “We have contact!” said Buzz Aldrin
Indirect speech (or reported speech) is when you write about (or report)
what a person has said, without using the actual words spoken, so you don’t
need speech marks
Example: Buzz Aldrin said that they had contact
Trang 4Convert the indirect speech to direct speech.
1 Lucy said that she was tired
2 Ronaldo said that he was the best football player in the world
3 Hulk shouted that he was so angry

NASA astronaut Christina Koch has set a new record for the longest stay in space by
a woman
NASA astronaut Christina Koch, who spent nearly 11 months in orbit to set a record for the longest spaceflight
by a woman, has landed safely back on Earth with her two International Space Station crewmates.
It is hoped the pioneering 328-day voyage by Koch, 41, will provide new insights into deep-space travel Koch was with Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov when their space capsule parachuted back to Earth in the Kazakh desert in Kazakhstan on Friday.
“I’m just so overwhelmed and happy right now,” Koch said, sitting in a chair wrapped in blankets as she waited to be carried into a medical tent to restore her balance in gravity.
Space experts said the three astronauts were all in good shape.
