More to Know

Direct speech is used when the words spoken or written down are actual words spoken by some person.

For example

• He says, "I am cleaver".

Indirect (or reported) speech is used when a person reports direct speech, that is, he reports orally or writes down the words in an appropiate tense and refers to the original speaker or writer's in the third person.

For example

• He says that he is cleaver.

Active voice and Passive voice.

Active voice and passive voice refer to the form of a verb. In the active voice, the subject of the verb is the person or thing doing the action.

For example

• Navin cooked the food.

In passive voice, action is done to the object.

for example

• The food was cooked by Navin.

Passive voice occurs very commonly in English; it is not merely an alternative to the active voice, but has its own distinctive uses.
