Direct and Indirect Speech

  • Direct speech refers to the statements spoken directly by the speaker.
  • Indirect speech refers to the speech reported by someone else.
  • 'Am' changes to 'was' as the reporting verb is in the simple past tense.
  • 'Now' changes to 'then' in the indirect speech. Since the name of a boy is mentioned, 'I' changes to 'he' in the indirect speech.
