English Grammar Pattern 62
"I heard (that)..." + Sentence
Model Sentence
I heard that the Earth will come to an end in 2020.
We have a choice of form here. We can say "I heard that..." or just "I heard...". Sometimes,
we can add have, as in "I've heard that..." or "I've heard..." Each of these sentences have
the same meaning. It's easiest to just practice the model sentence above and the
Pronunciation Practice sentences below, and use that form most of the time. Good luck!
Pronunciation Practice - Repeat each sentence out loud!
1. I heard (that) there's going to be a big sale this weekend.
2. I heard (that) the zoo will get a new baby panda next week.
3. My sister heard (that) her company will go out of business soon.
4. The newspaper reporter heard (that) the president will resign tomorrow.
5. We heard (that) tomorrow's weather will be sunny and warm.
