In form of Direct Speech:

• The actual words of the speaker are put within inverted commas (" ")

• A comma(,)is used before these words,seperating them from the first part of the sentence.

• The qouted words begin with a Capital letter.

In form of Indirect Speech.

• Here,the qouted words are not in inverted commas,but are introduced by conjunction 'that.'

• There is no comma after Reporting Verb 'said.'

• The tense of the Reporting Verb is never changed.

Ex‐

He said,"I am busy. "

-He said that he was busy.

Rules to change Direct Speech into Indirect Speech in forms of Assertive Sentence.

• Rule 1

If the Repoted verb is in the Present or Future tense; the verb of the Reported Speed is not changed at all.

• Rule 2

If the Reporting Verb is in the Past tense,the tense of the Verb in the Reported Speech must be changed.

• Rule 3

If the Reported Speech states some universal truth or habitual fact the tense of the verb in the Reported Speed remains unchanged.

Thus as a general rule in which there may be exceptions,we change:

• now⤍then
• this⤍that
• these⤍those
• here⤍there
• just⤍then
• came⤍go
• ago⤍before
• thus⤍so
• last night⤍the night before
• today⤍that day or the same day
• tomorrow⤍the day or the following day
• yesterday⤍the day before or the previous day.

He said," This is my book.

-He said that this was his book.(No change).
