Answer 2

QUESTION :

She said that she was going to college.

Change into direct speech.

ANSWER :

She said, "I am going to college."

The rules to change an indirect speech into a direct speech are as follows :

• The comma and the double quotations are to be included.

• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation does not change if the reported verb is in present tense.

• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation changes accordingly if the reported verb is in past tense.

• Here , the reported verb is in simple past tense, therefore the tense of the sentence inside quotation changes from simple past tense to simple present tense.

• ' She ' becomes 'I'.

• 'Was' becomes 'is'.
• Direct speech is a report of the exact words used by a speaker or writer. Contrast with indirect speech. Also called direct discourse.
• Direct speech is usually placed inside quotation marks and accompanied by a reporting verb, signal phrase, or quotative frame.
• In linguistics, indirect speech is a grammatical mechanism for reporting the content of another utterance without directly quoting it. For example, the English sentence Jill said she was coming is indirect discourse while Jill said "I'm coming" would be direct discourse.
• So the final answer is : She said, "I am going to college."
