Indirect Speech
Srivastav informed me that he had been waiting for his friend in the park since 6 a.m.
Explanation:
- Indirect Speech is a mode of narration where the actual words of the speaker are not quoted, instead the narrator reports the entire speech indirectly.
- Direct speech is in stark opposition. It quotes the very words of the speaker . These words are given within double inverted commas.
- The given sentence, ' Srivatsav said. "I have been waiting for my friend in the park since 6 a.m." ' is in direct speech.
- To change it to its reported form we first add an agent to whom the speech is reported. In this case 'me' has been added.
- The reporting verb is so framed that it reflects the content of the quoted words. Thus the verb 'informed' has been used.
- Then the quoted words are reported in the past tense. Since in the direct speech it is in the present perfect continuous tense so in the indirect speech the past perfect continuous is used.
- Thus the sentence in reported speech is : Srivastav informed me that he had been waiting for his friend in the park since 6 a.m.
