OTHER NOTES TO KNOW:-
➜Direct speech is what the speaker actually says.
➜Indirect speech is reporting it from the narrator's point of view.
REMEMBER:-
➜The reporting verb is usually in the past tense.
➜In the reported speech, words denoting first person (I, my, me, mine, myself, we, our, us, ours, ourselves) change according to the subject & words denoting second person (you, your, yours, yourself, yourselves) change according to the object.
➜Demonstrators in the reported speech change, e.g. ‘this into ‘that’, ‘now’ into ‘then’, ‘here’ into ‘there’, ‘tomorrow’ into ‘the next day’, ‘yesterday’ into ‘the previous day’. ‘Then’ is usually dropped.
When questions are reported:-
➜Indirect questions beginning with auxillary verbs are introduced by ‘if’ or ‘whether’.
➜Indirect ‘wh-questions’ are introduced by the ‘wh-word’ which begins the question in the direct speech
➜Word order is inverted, e.g.
‘Why are you making a noise?’ becomes ‘Why they are making a noise’.
