_________________________________________

Direct speech ☞ Direct speech describes when something is being repeated exactly as it was, ( directly ) usually in between a pair of inverted commas.

Indirect Speech ☞ Indirect speech will still share the same information, but instead of expressing someone's comments or speech by directly repeating them, it involves reporting or describing what was said ( indirectly ).

Look at the following examples :-

Direct Speech: She said to me, “I am writing a letter to my brother.”

Indirect Speech: She told me that she was writing a letter to her brother.

Rules for conversion of Indirect Speech to Direct Speech -

• Use the reporting verb, "say" or "said to" in its correct tense.

• Remove the conjuctions "that, to, if or whether etc".

• Insert quotation marks, question mark, exclamation and full stop, wherever necessary.

• Put a comma before the statement.

• ───── ✾ ───── •

General rules for changing direct speech into indirect speech -

• Omit all inverted commas or quotation marks.

• End the sentence with a full stop.

• If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the corresponding past tense.
