Question

he thanked me.....change into direct speech

Answer 1

The sentence can be changed into direct speech as follows:

He said to me, “thank you.”

Direct Speech

• In a direct speech, the message of the speaker is conveyed to the listener using the exact words said by the speaker.
• The words said by a speaker are written in inverted commas.

Indirect speech

• In indirect speech, we convey what the other person has said in a reported format but do not use the exact words of the speaker.
• Indirect speech is not to be written in inverted commas.
