Direct and Indirect speeches - Words or phrases that are directly quoted from the source are referred to as direct speech. These words have been quoted or written exactly from the original speech.
Direct speech repeats the same words directly from one source to another without any annotation or interpretation. In other words, we precisely repeat what was said by the speaker after hearing it the first time.
When we use our own language to report words or phrases, this is referred to as indirect speech. Instead of being quoted, the original words are changed and/or interpreted.
We use words that relate to something that has already occurred while discussing indirect speech. To do this, we are revising, interpreting, or summarising what has already been expressed and using the past tense.
(1) Direct Speech : I saw a panther this morning”, he said modestly
Indirect Speech : He modestly said that he had seen a panther that morning.
Explanation: If the reporting verb is in the past tense (said) and the direct speech is in the past indefinite tense, the indirect speech is converted to the past tense.
Past Indefinite Tense to Past Perfect Tense.
(2) No other runner is faster than Kiran in our school.
(3) Her grandmother’s spectacles were hidden by Susan.
