Indirect Speech
Seetha asked Geetha from where she had bought that new dress.
Geetha replied that she had bought it in her cousin's shop.
Explanation:
- Indirect speech is also known as Reported Speech.
- It reports what has been said by using the third person reported narration.
- If the tense used in direct speech is in the past tense in the reported speech it is changed into past perfect.
- Direct relative pronouns and adverbs are changed into their indirect counterparts.
- For example 'this' changes to 'that', 'Now' changes to 'then'.
- In the given sentences which are in the direct speech the tense used is simple past. Hence in indirect speech the tense used is past perfect - Seetha asked Geetha from where she had bought that new dress.
Geetha replied that she had bought it in her cousin's shop.
- There are no reporting verbs in the direct speech as it is in the form of a conversation so reporting verbs are added.
- Since Seetha asks a question the reporting verb is 'asked'.
- Geetha answers so the reporting verb is replied.
- The pronoun 'this' changes to 'that' and 'my' changes to 'her'.
