Question:-
change the following direct speech into indirect
amrita says to hari"I am taking my lunch"
Answer:-
amrita tells to hari that she is taking her lunch.
given :-
Direct speech in represented between a pair of inverted commas while indirect speech is reporting of someone's statement afterwards.
- Direct speech can be used in every tense in the statement. we can use it to describe something in the present tense i.e. something that is happening at the present moment.
Example- Ram says, "I am afraid of insects".
- Indirect speech is used to report what someone may have said, and so it is always used in the past tense. Instead of using inverted commas as in direct speech, we use the word “that” to introduce the statement.
Example- Ram said that he is afraid of insects.
Indirect Speech or more definition:-
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
She said, "I saw him." (direct speech) = She saidthat she had seen him. (indirect speech)
Thanks
