Change into indirect speech
Answers
The indirect form of the given speech is :
Geeta said to him that she was going on a cruise.
1) Indirect speech or reported speech is the form of speech in which one reports the statement/s made by another in their own words.
2) There are a few rules to change a direct speech into indirect speech:
• The first and foremost rule is to remove the comma and add 'that' after the verb 'said' in an indirect speech.
• First person in direct speech is changed into third person in indirect speech depending upon the subject of the sentence. Here, 'I' changes into 'she' as Geeta is the subject of the sentence.
• Present tense changes into past tense. Following this rule, 'am' changes into 'was' in the given sentence.
Answer:
Geeta told him that she was going on a cruise.
