Direct speech

" Sir, why are you so sad? " said the actors on approaching him.

Explanation:

  • Indirect Speech relates to the narration of a sentence or speech in the third person.
  • Indirect Speech always reports what the speaker has said and never quotes him/her.
  • Direct speech is just the opposite.
  • It narrates the actual speech of the narrator within quotes.
  • It is in the first person within inverted commas.
  • In the given sentence , The actors approach him and asked why he was so sad, the sentence is in the indirect speech.
  • Since the reporting verb is 'asked' the sentence when converted to direct speech should end with a question mark.
  • Thus the sentence becomes: " Sir, why are you so sad? " said the actors on approaching him.
