Answer:
ExplanatioDirect and Indirect Speech
Words spoken by a person can be reported to another person in two ways. These two ways of narration are called direct speech and indirect speech.
Direct speech
When we use direct speech we quote the actual words said by the speaker.
Examples are:
She said, ‘I am going to the market.’
John said, ‘I will be late today.’
Alice said, ‘Would you like to come with me?’
Indirect speech
When we use indirect speech, we do not quote the exact words said by the speaker. Instead, we express the idea in our own words.
In order to report the words of the original speaker in our own language, we have to make several changes in his/her sentence. The important rules are given below:
Rules regarding the Change of Personal Pronouns
First Personal Pronoun I My Me
We Our Us
Second Personal Pronoun You Your You
Third Personal Pronoun He His Him
She Her Her
It Its It
They Their Them
Normally we make the following changes in the personal pronoun of the reported speech.
First personal pronoun of the reporting speech changes according to the subject of the reported speech.
Second personal pronoun of the reporting speech changes according to the object of the reported speech.
Third personal pronoun of the reporting speech doesn’t undergo any change
Table for Personal Pronouns
Personal Pronouns of Reported Speech 1st
2nd 3rd
Change according to the Subject / Object of the Reporting Speech Subject Object No Change
Rules regarding the Change in Tenses
When the reporting verb is in the present or future tense…
If the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, the tense of the verb in the direct speech does not undergo any changes in the indirect speech.
She says, ‘I have done my duty.’ (Direct speech)
She says that she has done her duty. (Indirect speech)
Direct: He says to her, ‘I will wait for you at the railway station.’
Indirect: He tells her that he will wait for her at the railway station.
Direct: He says, ‘I am not coming.’
Indirect: He says that he is not coming.
Direct: She will say, ‘I don’t want to come.’
Indirect: She will say that she does not want to come.
Direct: He will say, ‘I cannot wait any longer.’
Indirect: He will say that he cannot wait any longer.
When the reporting verb is in the past tense…
When the reporting verb is in the past tense, all present tenses inside the quotation marks will change to their corresponding past tenses.
The simple present tense will change into the simple past tense.
The present continuous tense will change into the past continuous tense.
The past continuous tense will change into the past perfect continuous tense.
The present perfect tense will change into the past perfect tense.
The present perfect continuous tense will change into the past perfect continuous tense.
Past perfect and Past perfect continuous do not change.
1st form of the Verb → Changes into 2nd form of the Verb → Changes into had + 3rd form of the Verb
Do/Does → Did → Had + 3rd form
Is/am/are + 1st form+ing → Change into Was/were + 1st form+ing → Change into had been + 1st form+ing
Has/have +3rd form → Change into Had+3rd form → ‘Had’ doesn’t change (No change)
Has/have been +1st form+ing → Change into Had been +1st form+ing → ‘Had been’ doesn’t change (No change)
Shall/Will + 1st form → Would + 1st form
Here the reporting verb (said) is in the past tense. To change this sentence into indirect speech, we have to change the present tense(s) inside the quotation marks into their corresponding past tenses.
Direct and Indirect Speech: Rules for the Change of Tenses
We have seen that when the reporting verb is in the past tense, all present tenses inside the quotation marks will change into their corresponding past tenses in indirect speech. Study the example sentences given below.
Direct: She said, ‘I don’t want to come with you.’
Indirect: She said that she didn’t want to come with me.
Direct: He said, ‘I am writing a letter.’
Indirect: He said that he was writing a letter.
Direct: She said, ‘I have finished the work.’
Indirect: She said that she had finished the work.
Direct: He said, ‘I want some razors.’
Indirect: He said that he wanted some razors.
Direct: John said, ‘I have been living in this city for ten years.’
Indirect: John said that he had been living in that city for ten years.
Direct: He said, ‘I have been waiting here for several hours.’
Indirect: He said that he had been waiting there for several hours.
When the reporting verb is in the past tense, past tenses inside the quotation marks will change into their corresponding past tenses.
The simple past will change into the past perfect.
The past continuous will change into the past perfect continuous.
The past perfect and past perfect continuous tenses will remain unchanged.
