________________________________
Indirect and Direct Narration:
We many report the words of a speaker in two ways:
Quoting the actual words said by speaker enclosing in inverted commas (" ") and starting with a capital letter. This is called Direct Narration.
Reporting what speaker said without quoting actual words or using inverted commas, but focusing on the content what he said. This is called Indirect Narration.
Basic Rules for conversion of direct speech to indirect:
Reporting verb 'said' is changed to told, ordered, asked etc. according to the type of sentence.
Conjunction 'that' is used before the indirect statement.
Personal pronouns change in Indirect speech.
Pronouns of first person and second person are changed into indirect form correspondingly.
Pronouns of third person do not change.
e.g., Direct : He said to me, "I don't believe you".
Indirect : He told me that he didn't believe me.
Change in tense of the sentence.
When the reporting or principal verb is in the Past Tense, all Present tenses of the Direct are changed into the corresponding Past tenses.
simple present → Simple past
present continuous → past continuous
present perfect → past perfect
Past indefinite → Past perfect
Past perfect → Past perfect continuous
Will → would
Shall → should
can → could
The tenses will not change if the statement is a universal truth or a habitual statement.
e.g., Direct : The teacher said, "The Earth goes round the Sun".
Indirect : The teacher said that the earth goes round the Sun.
Words expressing nearness in time or place are generally changed into the words expressing distance.
now → then
here → there
ago → before
today → that day
tomorrow → the next day
yesterday → the day before
this → these
that → those
