The old man asked the boy if he could tell him the way to the post office.
- A conversation between two people ie between the first person and the second person is called direct speech.
- Example - Yash said to dhruv, " I'll rock there."
- When the same dialogues are reported to a third person, it's called indirect speech.
- Example - Yash told dhruv that he would rock there.
- All the tenses of the direct speech are converted to the past tense in the indirect speech, but if the sentence is already in past tense, it turns to past perfect tense.
- Example -
1. Henil said to Nishant, " We watch a movie daily.
=> Henil told Nishant that they watched a movie daily.
- If the direct speech is a universal truth, the tense of the sentence doesn't change in the indirect speech.
- Example -
1. Shreyansh said, " The sun rises in the east."
=> Shreyansh said that the sun rises in the east.
- If the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, the tense of the verb isn't changed in the indirect speech.
- Example -
1. Heet says , " I write a letter. "
=> Heet says that he writes 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. Ksitij said to me , "You're an idiot."
=> Kshitij told me that I was an idiot.
