Direct and Indirect Speech

• Direct speech refers to the statements spoken directly by the speaker. Indirect speech refers to statements repeated by someone else. It is also called the reported speech. Together they are called Narration.

• The reporting verb is in the simple present tense. Thus, the subordinate clause will also remain in the present tense in the indirect speech.

• 'I' changed to 'she.' Therefore, due to subject-verb agreement, 'am' changes to 'is.'

• The reporting clause and the subordinate clause are joined by 'that.'

• The sentence in the subordinate clause is an assertive sentence, so there will be no changes in the indirect speech.
