▪Knowledge Booster :-

There are two types of speeches ----

1. Direct speech or Direct narration

2. Indirect speech or Indirect narration

1. Direct speech :-

What a man says is kept as it is within a quotation (" ") marks. A sentence containing such a quote is called the DIRECT SPEECH or DIRECT NARRATION.

➩ The direct speech is always enclosed with inverted commas (" ")

➩ There is no change in words.

Example : He said to me, " you are right ."

2. Indirect speech :-

Sometimes the exact speech of a speaker is not repeated but reported. Such a speech is called INDIRECT SPEECH or INDIRECT NARRATION.

➩ We change a sentence in indirect speech without using first person's actual words.

➩ This is also known as reported speech.

➩ We change it into the past tense.

Example : He told me that I was right.
