✎ SOME MORE TO KNOW:

☞ Direct speech is what the speaker actually says.

☞ Indirect speech is reporting it from the narrator's point of view.

✎ REMEMBER:

✯The reporting verb is usually in the past tense.

✯In the reported speech words denoting first person (I, my,me, mine, myself, we, our, us, ours, ourselves) change according to the subject & words denoting second person (you, your, yours, yourself, yourselves) change according to the object.

✯ Demonstrators in the reported speech change, e.g. ‘this’ into ‘that’ ; ‘now into then’ ; ‘here’ into ‘there’ ; ‘tomorrow’ into ‘the next day’ ; ‘Yesterday’ into ‘the previous day’. Then is usually dropped.

✎ WHEN QUESTIONS ARE REPORTED:

➜ Indirect questions beginning with auxillary verbs are introduced by ‘if’ or ‘whether’.

➜ Indirect ‘wh-questions’ are introduced by the ‘wh-word’ which begins the question in the direct speech.

➜ Word order is inverted, e.g.

‘Why are you making noise?’ becomes ‘Why they are making noise’.
