Thank you so ma'am ma'am, this'll really help me for my presentation this Wednesday 💞
Hi teacher Kat thanks for sharing your video lessons :)
Are direct speech acts always in the form of a question? I am confused with the explanation of your given example (10:29). When I was in grade 11, we were told that direct speech acts can be uttered in 3 forms such as declarative, imperative, and interrogative. In that given example, it is obvious that the structure (Let's go to the movies tonight) and its communicative/social function (Let's go, invitation) are directly related.
I think the statement "let's go to the movies tonight" is a direct speech act in a declarative form.
Let me illustrate that utterance in 3 forms.
Utterance: "Let's go to the movies tonight!"
1. Declarative:
''Let's go to the movies tonight!"
2. Interrogative:
"Do you want to watch a movie tonight?"
3. Imperative:
Watch movies tonight!"
These 3 forms are uttered directly (direct speech).
I think the indirect speech could be:
1. Interrogative:
Could you watch movies tonight?
2. Declarative:
Titanic is showing tonight and you are free.
The utterances here are indirect speeches because the forms or the structures do not correspond to the function.
Thank you po ma'am, your video po really help me

Question po, ma'm. Are performatives and declaration the same? Medyo confused po ako. Thank you, ma;m. :)
Performatives will only take effect if uttered by the right person.
@@TeacherKat another element is missing po. Performatives or declaration should only be effective if it is uttered by the right person under the RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCE.
Example Performative: You are fired!
Two essential elements must be considered here to consider this utterance valid and effective:
1. It should be uttered by the boss/hr officer/or any person from the company who is authorized to perform the act.
2. There should be a violation that can lead to the employee's expulsion or termination.
If these 2 conditions are not met, the act should not be valid or effective.
