Direct Speech: "Is there anybody there?” said the Traveller
Indirect Speech: The traveller asked if there was any body there
ANSWER: Right
Explanation:
- Indirect speech is a way of conveying the content of questions, statements, or other expressions, sans citing them explicitly as it is done in direct speech. Indirect speech is also referred to as reported speech, wherein we report what somebody told without speech marks and sans using precisely the same words.
- In grammar, when we report somebody else’s statement in our own words without changing the meaning of that statement, it is known as indirect speech.
- That is quoting an individual’s words sans using his/her own words and bringing around any change to the meaning of that statement is known as indirect speech or reported speech.
- Interrogative sentences starting with an auxiliary verb are changed into the indirect speech by using the connective whether or if. The reporting verb said changes to asked, questioned, queried, demanded of or inquired of in the indirect speech. Also, question mark will be removed when converting interrogative sentence into indirect speech
