Direct/Indirect Speech:

• There are two types of narration direct speech and indirect speech.
• In direct speech, the exact words of the speaker are quoted in inverted commas.
• Indirect narration is not the exact speech of the speaker.
• It is not quoted in inverted commas and is reported by a third person.
• As per narration rules, converting from direct to indirect speech 'shall' changes to 'would'.
• A noun should be changed into a proper pronoun.
