Direct and Indirect Speech

• Direct speech refers to the statements directly spoken by the speaker. Indirect speech refers to the reported speech.

• Since the subordinate speech is a question, the conjunction 'if ' is used in the indirect speech.

• 'Come' changes to 'go,' and 'next week' changes to 'following week.'

• The reporting verb is in the simple past tense. Therefore, 'will' changes to 'would' in the indirect speech.
