2. QUANTIFIERS
Quantifiers provide the quantity of a name. These are
answers to the question "How many?". Like the articles,
quantifiers define a name and are always located in front of
the name. Some can be used only with countable nouns,
others only with countless names and others with both.

8. REPORTED SPEECH
El estilo indirecto, a diferencia del estilo directo, no utiliza las comillas y
no necesita ser palabra por palabra. En general, cuando se usa el estilo
indirecto, el tiempo verbal cambia. A continuación tienes un explicación de
los cambios que sufren los tiempos verbales.
A veces se usa "that" en las frases afirmativas y negativas para introducir
lo que ha dicho la otra persona. Por otro lado, en las frases interrogativas
se puede usar "if" o "whether".

She said he was American
She said he was American
o Past Continuous
She said Dan was living in San Francisco.
He told me that he was making dinner.

10. PAST TENSE OF´THERE IS
Cuando queremos informar exactamente de lo que otra persona ha
dicho, utilizamos el estilo directo. Con este estilo lo que la persona ha
dicho se coloca entre comillas ("...") y deberá ser palabra por palabra.
Ejemplos:
I am going to London next week, she said. "I am going to London next
week," she said.
("Voy a Londres la semana que viene," ella dijo.)
Do you have a pen I could borrow?, he asked. "Do you have a pen I could
borrow," he asked.
("¿Tienes un bolígrafo que puedas prestarme?," él preguntó.)
11. PASSIVE VOICE
Although the passive voice is less common than the active voice, there
are several good reasons to sometimes use the passive. On this page we
look at how to construct the passive voice and when and why to use it.
(For a basic explanation of the difference between active and passive,
please see voice.)

10% seldom

13. PROPOSITIONS FOR /SINCE
We use an expression with prepositions 'for' or 'since' to indicate how long
performing an action.
To express the duration of an activity we can say the amount of time it
takes doing.
Then use that amount behind the 'for' preposition.
