Unit 16 talks about the conditionals and reported speech. Conditionals could be described as sentences that can describe possibilities, and reported speech is information that is written down from what other people have stated. I was not aware that when direct speech then becomes reported speech, the verb tenses, and the subject pronouns or the first, second, or third person change. When we report information that others have said, it goes back to what I have stated before in previous units, as native speakers of English, it comes naturally to speak and report, but many times we do not consider what we are actually saying or reporting. From this unit, the student activities in the activate stage can be creative because they will be able to respond to probable or hypothetical situations. In this learning stage, the activities should be student-centered. If I am to work on reported speech with students, I will teach and work on this area slowly and thoroughly because many students could get confused by the fact that the present tense could change into the past tense.
