☯️More to know:
☞ Direct speech is what the speaker actually says.
☞ Indirect speech is reporting it from the narrator's point of view.
☯️Remeber:
✯ The reporting verb is usually in the past tense.
✯ In the reported speech words denoting first person ( I, my, me, mine, myself, we, our, us, ours, ourselves ) change according to the subject & words denoting second 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 ‘the next day’ ; ‘Yesterday’ into ‘the previous day’. Then is usually dropped.
☯️When any questions are reported:
➪ Indirect questions beginning with auxillary verbs are introduced by ‘if’ or ‘whether’.
➪ Indirect ‘wh-questions’ are introduced by the ‘wh-word’ which begins the question in the direct speech.
➪ Word order is inverted, e.g.
‘Why are you making noise?’ becomes ‘Why they are making noise’.
