Question

" what impudence! " sethji shouted. ( change the mode of narration )

Answer 1

Answer:

Shethjji shouted "What impudence".

Explanation:

we consider these two sentences, we might notice that both of them convey the same message, but there is a difference if we look closely. In the first sentence, I am conveying the activities of David in his (D) own words without changing it; it is called direct speech or we can say reporting speech. In the second sentence, I am using my own words to convey the activities of the speaker (D) to the audience. This we can say indirect speech or reported speech.

There are some major rules to change these speeches from direct to indirect. We need to consider the tense, pronoun, words that describe time, place, distance, types of sentences, etc. let’s have a glance at the following rules:

1. Pronoun:

In an indirect speech the pronoun changes according to the speaker whether s/he is referring himself/herself or a third person. We can make this clearer if we learn this with some examples:

Direct: George said, “I cannot be with you.”

Indirect: George said that he could not be with me.

Direct: I said, “Leave me”

Indirect: I ordered to leave me alone. (Note: in this sentence the speaker is same, so there is no change in the indirect speech.)

Direct: They said, “We will be partying tonight.”

Indirect: They said that they would be partying that night.

Direct: I told George, “You should stay.”

Indirect: I told George that he should stay.

Direct: She asked, “How are you doing today?”

Indirect: She asked me how I was doing that day.

Direct: Robert said, “Can you pull me up?”

Indirect: Robert asked if I could pull him up.

2. Type of sentences:

a. Reporting Interrogative sentences:

I) If there is a yes-no question in the direct speech, then the reported speech will start with whether/if and the reported clause form will be (subject+verb).
