Question

Kim said," I have d it" rewrite it UN reported speech

Answer 1

Answer:

KIM SAID THAT HE HAD IT.

NOTE THE POINTS IN THE SPEECH CONVERSION:[Direct speech]

--> SAID is called the reporting verb and is placed outside (" ")

--> The exact words of the speaker are marked off by the inverted commas, and are called Direct Speech. The speech within the quotation is seperated from the reporting portion by a comma.

--> In direct speech the first word after the inverted commas begins with a capital letter.

Also,

* The pronouns of the first person (I , we, my, mine, our, ours, me or us) of DS changes according to the person of the subject of the reporting speech.

* The pronoun of third person (He, his, him, she , they,it,etc) remains same.

* The pronoun of second person (you,yours,your) changes according to the person of the object of the reporting speech.

INDIRECT SPEECH:

--> if it is 'says' In direct speech it will be 'says that' in direct speech.

--> If it is 'says to' it will be tells

--> if it is 'said' it will be 'said that'

--> if It is 'said to' it will be 'told to'

-->The reporting verb said or said to is often replaced by the words like asked requested, suggested ,enquired in the indirect speech when an order, a suggestion, or a request is reported in the direct speech.

Example: Rita said to watchman,"Either go or wait."(DS)

Rita asked the watchman either to go or wait.(IS).
