Direct and Indirect Speech

• The sentence is given in the direct speech.

• Direct speech refers to the speech given by the speaker. Indirect speech is the reported speech.

• We need to change the direct speech into a request in the indirect speech.

• Thus, the reporting verb 'said' is changed to 'requested.'

• 'Want' is changed 'if he could' to ask permission of the elder brother.
