$\blue {Additional \: information: }$

• A conversation between two people ie between the first person and the second person is called direct speech.
• Example - Kshitij said to Prince, " I'll rock there ".
• When the same dialogues are reported to a third person, it's called indirect speech.
• Example - Kshitij told prince that he would rock there.

$\purple { Rules :}$

• All the tenses of the direct speech are converted to the past tense in the direct speech , but if the sentence is already in past tense, it turns to past perfect tense.

• Example -

1. Reena said to Shyam, "we will go to Kolkata for a tour".

=> Reena told Shyam that they would go to Kolkata for a tour.

• If the direct speech is a universal truth, the tense of the sentence doesn't change in the indirect speech.

• Example -

1. Suraj said to Rohit, " The sun rises in the east."

=> Suraj told Rohit that the sun rises in the east.

• If the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, the the tense of the verb isn't changed in the indirect speech.

• Example -

1. Kshitij said , " I write a letter."

=> Kshitij said that he wrote a letter.

• If the person addressed to, reports the speech , the second person in the direct speech becomes first person in the indirect speech.

• Example -

1. Ram said to me, "You're intelligent."

=> Ram told me that I was intelligent.

$\green {Here,}$

• The inverted commas are removed and that is used to convert it into indirect speech.
• Hurt is converted into hurted.
• Yesterday is converted into the previous day.
