Question

how to change direct speech into indirect speech or indirect speech into direct speech? Can you give me any one example

Answer 1

heyyyy!!!!mate here is ur answer

Sometimes, the direct speech that we want to report comes in more than one sentence.

Examples:

Direct: "Don't fight with your sister," my mother said. "Get on with your school homework."

Indirect: My mother told me not to fight with my sister and to get on with my school homework. 

Direct: "Be quiet! I'm watching television."  

Indirect: She told us to be quiet while she was watching television."

 

 

In most cases, when the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, we do not change the tenses of the verbs in the indirect speech.

Examples:

Direct: "I'm tired," she says almost every evening. (Simple present) 

Indirect: Almost every evening, she says (that) she is tired. 

Direct: "They are late again." she has told us. (Present perfect) 

Indirect: She has told us (that) they are late  again. 

Direct: I will tell him, "The shop closes at 5.30." (Simple future)  

Indirect: I will tell him (that) the shop closes at 5.30. 

 

 

If in direct speech, a statement is always true or an action is still continuing, we do not change the tense when converting it into indirect speech, as a change of tense might give the wrong meaning.

Examples:

Direct: He told us. "The Earth is round." 

Indirect: He told us that the Earth is round. 

Direct: She said, "My brother is living in Australia.  

Indirect: She said that her brother is living in Australia. (She said that her brother was living in Australia would indicate that her brother is no longer living in Australia which is not true.)
