A. Identify whether the following sentences are in direct speech ( DS ) or reported speech ( RS ). One has been done for you.
1. "Please give me the railway timetable," the passenger said to the clerk.
☞ Direct Speech ( DS ) as inverted commas are used and speech is said directly.
2. Seema remarked how quickly they had reached their destination.
☞ Reported Speech ( RS ) as no inverted commas are used and speech is said indirectly.
3. "Do you like going to the beach?" he asked.
☞ Direct Speech ( DS ) as inverted commas are used and speech is said directly.
4. The guide asked the boys if they had spotted any tigers in the forest.
☞ Reported Speech ( RS ) as no inverted commas are used and speech is said indirectly.
5. My cousin said, "I will drop you at the airport"
☞ Direct Speech ( DS ) as inverted commas are used and speech is said directly.
Direct speech ☞ Direct speech describes when something is being repeated exactly as it was, ( directly ) usually in between a pair of inverted commas.
Indirect Speech ☞ Indirect speech will still share the same information, but instead of expressing someone's comments or speech by directly repeating them, it involves reporting or describing what was said ( indirectly ).
Look at the following examples :-
Direct Speech: She said to me, “I am writing a letter to my brother.”
Indirect Speech: She told me that she was writing a letter to her brother.
Rules for conversion of Indirect Speech to Direct Speech -
• Use the reporting verb, "say" or "said to" in its correct tense.
• Remove the conjuctions "that, to, if or whether etc".
• Insert quotation marks, question mark, exclamation and full stop, wherever necessary.
• Put a comma before the statement.
General rules for changing direct speech into indirect speech -
• Omit all inverted commas or quotation marks.
• End the sentence with a full stop.
• If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the corresponding past tense.
Note : Reported Speech and Indirect Speech are same.
