shanti said that its very sad that even though man had gone to the moon and made so many useful gadgets that make his life easier he was still unable to remove poverty from the world. Gouri replied that she got her point and personally feels that man is greedy and selfish. She added man seems more interested in fame and money than removing problems like poverty. Shanti acclaimed the point to be good and totally agreed with her on this. she asked Gouri to go at the canteen then.

CBSE Class 9 English Grammar – Direct And Indirect Speech

Formulae Handbook for Class 9 Maths and ScienceEducational Loans in India

1. Direct and Indirect Speech:

The words spoken by a person can be reported in two ways—Direct and Indirect. When we quote the exact words spoken by a person, we call it Direct Speech.

Sohan said to Mohan, “I am going to school.”

The exact words spoken by Sohan are put within inverted commas. But when we give the substance of what Sohan said, it is called the Indirect Speech.

You can master in English Grammar of various classes by our articles like Tenses, Clauses, Prepositions, Story writing, Unseen Passage, Notice Writing etc.

2. Reporting Clause and Reported Speech:

Sohan told Mohan that he was going to school. The words which generally come before the inverted commas are called the reporting clause, i.e. Sohan said to Mohan and the verb ‘said’, is called the reporting verb. The words spoken by Sohan and put within inverted commas are called the reported speech, i.e. “I am going to school.”

3. Rules for Changing Direct Speech into Indirect Speech:

In the Indirect speech, no inverted commas are used.

The conjunctions that, if, whether, are generally used after the reporting verb.

The first word of the reported speech begins with a capital letter.

The tense of the reporting verb is never changed.

The reporting verb changes according to sense: it may be told, asked, inquired,etc.

4. Rules for the Change of Pronouns:

The first person pronouns (I, me, my, we, us, our) in the reported speech change according to the subject of the reporting verb.

The pronouns of the second person (you, your, yourself) in the reported speech change according to the object of the reporting verb.

The pronouns of the third person do not change.

For example:

He said, “I like the book.”

He said that he liked the book.

He said to me, “Do you like the book?”

He asked me if I liked the book.

He said, “He likes the book.”

He said that he liked the book.
