change in indirect speech she said, "what a pitiful scene!"
Answers
Answer:
He said, What a pitiful scene it is
Answer:
She regretted that it was a very pitiful scene.
Explanation:
=> This is the transformation of the sentence from Direct speech to Indirect speech.
Whenever a question is asked in a direct speech and if it is a exclamatory sentence, then we have to write it as a reported form with the word starting either from exclamatory words depending on the situation.
- sad - regretted, depressed
- happy - joyed, overjoyed, enjoyed
- surprise - shocked, exclaimed
In this way, we should write the reported verb.
❖Extra information :
Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person said. To do this, we can use direct speech or indirect speech
Direct speech : Direct speech quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ... ") and there is no change in these words.
Indirect speech : Indirect speech is speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the person's actual words
