EXTRA INFORMATION
General rules for changing direct speech into indirect speech
Omit all inverted commas or quotation marks. End the sentence with a full stop.
- If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the corresponding past tense. If it is in the simple past tense, change it into the past perfect tense.
Example
Direct speech: The girl said, ‘I like singing.’
Indirect speech: The girl said that she liked singing.
- When the verb inside the quotation marks expresses a universal truth, we do not normally change it into the past tense.
Examples
Direct speech: He said, ‘All people have equal rights.’
Indirect Speech: He said that all people have equal rights. (More natural than ‘He said that all people had equal rights.’)
- Use pronouns appropriately.
Examples
Direct speech: The boy told the girl, ‘I told you that we were not going on a holiday.’
Indirect speech: The boy told the girl that he had told her that they were not going on a holiday.
