Rules of Direct and Indirect Speech

• In direct speech, the first word begins with a capital letter after the inverted commas.
• Direct speaking is when the speaker uses only the exact words that are indicated by an inverted comma.
• The comma separates the reporting person from the discourse contained within cotation.
• The subject of the reporting speech determines how the first person pronoun is used.
• The reporting speech's object determines how to adjust the second person pronoun.
• In indirect communication, the third-person pronoun is unaffected.
• When the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, there is no need to alter the verb or tense of the reported speech.
• In these circumstances, both the Past Perfect Tense and Past Perfect Continuous Tense are used.
• Could, Should, Would, Might, and Must are respectively translated from Can, Shall, Will, May, and Must.
• Optimistic phrases-According to the context of the statement, said is changed to prayed, bade, cursed, thanked, etc., and "that" is used as a conjunction. However, in other sentences, the word "that" is omitted.
• The verb and subject of reported speech are now represented as (subject + verb); reported speech is now assertive.
• The initial form of the verb is used with it, the sign of exclamation (! ), if given, is eliminated, and a full stop is used if the word "may" is hidden.
• Exclamatroy sentence="That" is used as a conjunction and "said to" is altered to exclaimed, exclaimed with delight, exclaimed with pain, exclaimed with grief, confessed with regret, yelled with applause, cried out, or eagerly wished.
• If supplied, the exclamation mark (!) is omitted and a full stop is used instead. If the reported verb contains the terms "what a" or "how," "very" is used in the indirect speech in their place.
