Reported speech

Vanka asked the senior apprentice why he treated her so cruelly.

The senior apprentice replied that he found pleasure in doing it that way.

Explanation:

• In English language narration involves two types of speeches-the direct speech and the indirect speech.
• Direct speech is a narrative style where the exact words of the speaker are narrated. These words are placed within double inverted commas to assert the quote.
• Indirect speech is the opposite of the direct speech. It is reported in the third person.
• The tense aspect of the verb is also changed accordingly .
• In the given conversation there are two speakers- Vanka and the senior apprentice.
• In the direct speech Vanka asks a question marked by the punctuation mark of interrogation.
• The tense used is simple tense.
• In indirect speech in place of the question mark the reporting verb 'asked' is used. The tense will change into a simple past tense.
• Thus the sentence in indirect speech it is : Vanka asked the senior apprentice why he treated her so cruelly.

• The senior apprentice also spoke in the simple present tense. Hence in the indirect speech it is : The senior apprentice replied that he found pleasure in doing it that way.
