Answer 2

Answer:

The boy said, "I am happy today. "  (Direct speech)

The boy said that he was happy that day. ( Indirect speech)

Explanation:

• Direct speech reports  what was said using quotation marks and the exact words are written. While, when we use indirect speech, we do not use quotation marks and might not use the exact words as they were said.

• For example,

        Ranu said, "I am feeling sleepy." is in direct speech. To report

        what    Ranu said in indirect speech, we will remove the comma and    quotation marks, use 'that', change the noun / pronoun to third person, change the verb or tense if required. The sentence becomes, Ranu said that he was feeling sleepy.

• For the sentence given, the boy said, "I am happy today.", we begin with, the boy said, add 'that', change noun to third person by using 'he', use 'was' instead of 'is' as reported speech is in past tense. 'Today' becomes 'that day'. The sentence in indirect speech becomes, The boy said that he was happy that day.
