Answer:
Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.
Example: He said,"It's a challenge." (Direct)
He said that it was a challenge. (Indirect)
In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words have to be made. Also, if the sentence is contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'. Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.
He asked me,"What is my fault?" (Direct)
He asked me what his fault was. (Indirect)
Explanation:
Change to Indirect Speech:
He asked me, "What is my fault?"
Answer:-
He asked me what his fault was.
Here,
'is' changed to 'was' with change in tense.
'my' changed to 'his' as it was meant for the listener.
