Answer:
1.Direct and Indirect speech:
The words spoken by a person can be reported in two ways—Direct and Indirect. When we quote the exact words spoken by a person, we call it Direct Speech.
ex:Sohan said to Mohan, “I am going to school.”
The exact words spoken by Sohan are put within inverted commas. But when we give the substance of what Sohan said, it is called the Indirect Speech.
You can master in English Grammar of various classes by our articles like Tenses, Clauses, Prepositions, Story writing, Unseen Passage, Notice Writing etc.
2.Reported clause and Reported speech
Sohan told Mohan that he was going to school. The words which generally come before the inverted commas are called the reporting clause, i.e. Sohan said to Mohan and the verb ‘said’, is called the reporting verb. The words spoken by Sohan and put within inverted commas are called the reported speech, i.e. “I am going to school.”
3.Rules for changing direct to indiect
.In the Indirect speech, no inverted commas are used.
.The conjunctions that, if, whether, are generally used after the reporting verb.
.The first word of the reported speech begins with a capital letter.
.The tense of the reporting verb is never changed.
.The reporting verb changes according to sense: it may be told, asked, inquired,etc.
