Explanation:
In order to change direct speech to indirect speech you need to adjust the pronouns where necessary and the tense of the indirect speech has to match the tense of the reporting verb—in these cases. If the reporting verb is in present tense, then no verb tenses need to be made. If it is in past tense then the following verb tense changes need to happen:
Present →Past
Present perfect →Past perfect
Past →Past perfect
Will →Would
Imperatives →Infinitives
The verb “can” is a present tense modal verb and thus needs to change to “could”. The person being talked about is “he”, so the subject of the indirect speech must change to “he” too, which gives:
Example...
6. Rohan said that he had dropped his coffee on the notebook.
1. Patrick thought that he thinks that he can do that.
2. Priyanshi told to Ipsta that she was so frightened that she could have fainted.
3. Tristan inquired to the fruit seller that how much the apricots were.
4. The airline pleaded the passengers at the airport that they were sorry for the inconvenience caused to them.
5. She said that she had been teaching classical music for eight years.
6. Rohan exclaimed with surprise that he had dropped his coffee on the notebook.
7. Diya introduced Shweta to us and informed us that she had joined our team.
Explanation:
- Direct and indirect speech are the two types of speech used in the English Language.
- In direct speech, the words are quoted as said by the speaker.
- The inverted commas and commas are used to quote the exact words.
- In indirect speech, the words are changed and are not directly quoted. The pronoun and verb are changed. But the meaning of the word remains the same while doing so.
