☞ 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 reporting speech, words denoting first person ( I, my, me, mine, myself, we, our, us, ours, ourselves) change according to the subject & words denoting sec(ond 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 ‘next day’, ‘yesterday’ into ‘the previous day’
When questions are reported:-
➜ indirect questions beginning with auxillary verbs are introduced by ‘if’ or ‘whether’
➜ Indirect ‘wh-questions’ are introduced by the ‘wh-questions’ which begins the question in the direct speech.
➜ Word other is inverted, e.g.
‘Why are you making a noise?’ becomes ‘Why they were making a noise.’
