5 dialogue of jokes write in reported speech
Answers
Direct speech is used to give the exact words
used by another speaker. The words are given between quotation marks (" ") in writing:
EG: "I'm coming now," he said.
Indirect Speech (also called Reported Speech) is used to communicate what someone else said, but without using the exact words. The tenses of the verbs are often changed.
EG: He said that he was going to come. (The person's exact words were "I'm going to come.")
You can turn the direct speech into indirect or reported speech:
Example: Paul said, “I need to get ready for a
meeting “ becomes :
Paul said that he needed to get ready for a meeting or Paul told me that he needed to get ready for a meeting. [reported speech]

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says," Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer(security guard )is a blonde girl.
3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a Black Belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
"Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, "No....not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."
