Question

direct speech to indirect speech

Answer 1

There are rules in converting direct to indirect speech. The tense usually has change because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past (obviously the person who spoke originally spoke in the past).
1. Tense Change ; As a rule when we report something someone has said you go back a tense (the tense on the left changes to the tense on the right)(an we can use the Present Tense in indirect speech if we want to say that something is still true.)
2.Modal Change ; Modal verb forms also sometimes changeIf it use modal, such as: could, would, should, might and ought to in direct speech, then we don’t need to change it.
3. Time Change ; If direct speech sentence contains an expression of time, we must change it to fit in with the time.
4. verbs ; Some reporting verbs may appear in more than one of the following groups.

The answer has been given below.

Explanation:

• Direct speech is the reported speech of the person said or told in exactly the same way as it was spoken by him/her. Whereas an Indirect speech is the new and slightly modified way of reporting the words said by the speaker in the words of the one relaying the speech.  

• In a direct speech, the use of commas and inverted commas is necessary whereas it is the exact contrary for an indirect speech.

• When changing any speech from a direct speech to an indirect speech, it is pertinent to use the word "that" to indicate the start of the speech of the reported person.  

• Change of the nouns or first persons to their corresponding pronouns is also mandatory.

• And most importantly, the tense of the verbs must be changed from present to past, or accordingly.

• For example, the sentence  

I said, "He wants to go home" is a direct speech. So, in an indirect speech, it will become : I said that he wanted to go home.
