Answer 2

QUESTION:-

the captain said, "if the rain stops, the match will be played"

Change indirect speech to direct speech.

ANSWER:-

The captain said that if the rain stops,the match would be played.

EXPLANATION:-

• In the above sentence, the indirect speech "The captain said, "if the rain stops, the match will be played" is changed to the direct speech "The captain said that if the rain stops,the match would be played."

• In the above sentence, the reported speech is changed in such a way that its noun (captain) and tenses (would) are suitable for the reporter.

• When we use the exact words of the speaker to report what he or she has said, we use direct speech.

• In direct speech, the words used by the speaker are enclosed within quotation marks. The reported verb is followed by a comma. The first word within the inverted commas begins with a capital letter(If)

• When we use our own words to report what a person has said, we use Indirect Speech.

• In an indirect speech sentence, the reporting verb is followed by 'that'. In an indirect speech the reported speech is not placed withing inverted commas.
