• Direct and Indirect speech

Understanding the concept....

There are two ways of relating what a person has said: Direct and Indirect speech.

In Direct speech actual words of the speaker are quoted.

In Indirect speech we use inverted commas to mark exact words of speaker and a comma or a colon is placed immediately before the given remark or speech.

❍ Rules for changing Direct speech into Indirect speech :–

Rule 1: If the reporting Verb is in the present or future tense, the tense in the reported speech is not changed.

Rule 2: If reporting Verb is in the Past tense, the tense of the verb in the reported speech is changed into one of forms of past tense.

Rule 3: Pronouns and possesive adjectives of the first and second person in Direct speech are changed into third person in Indirect speech.

Rule 4: In reported speech, the words expressing nearness of time or place are changed into words showing distance.
