Question

What is the indirect speech of she said I am going to school

Answer 1

Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.

Example: Marie said,"I'm reading a book." (Direct)

                Marie said that she was reading a book. (Indirect)

In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words have to be made. Also, if the sentence contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'. Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.

She said,"I am going to school." (Direct)

She said that she was going to school. (Indirect)
