rules of direct and indirect speech
Answers
Answer:
general rules of direct speech are:
Each new character's speech starts on a new line.
Speech is opened with speech marks.
Each line of speech starts with a capital.
The line of speech ends with a comma, exclamation mark or question mark.
A reporting clause is used at the end (said Jane, shouted Paul, replied Mum).
A full stop goes after the reporting clause.
If the direct speech in the sentence is broken up by information about who is speaking, add in a comma or question mark or exclamation mark to end the first piece of speech and a full stop or another comma before the second piece (before the speech marks), for example: "It's lovely," she sighed, "but I can't afford it right now." / "I agree!" said Kate. "Let's go!".
When changing direct speech into indirect speech, changes have to be made to a sentence. For example:
Verb tenses usually shift back a tense (into the past)
Word order often needs to change
Pronouns often need to change
Words indicating place and time need to change.

NOW for indirect speech.....
changing direct speech into indirect speech. Omit all inverted commas or quotation marks. End the sentence with a full stop. If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the corresponding past tense.
