Answer 2

Answer:

What is Direct Speech?

l     Consider the following sentence:

Rama said : ' A  fine lesson will be taught to the wicked Ravana.'

The given sentence is in direct speech.

Here the exact words of the speaker have been put within quotation marks.

There is a colon after 'said'.

The first word inside the quotation marks starts with a capital letter.

 

What is an indirect speech then?

•          Let's consider the indirect speech of the sentence under consideration ,

   Rama said (that) a fine lesson would be taught to the wicked Ravana.

   In  Indirect speech

•      The quotation marks as well as the colon after said are removed.

•      The conjunction “that” introduces to us the words (not exact) spoken by the speaker. However the latest trend is to drop 'that'

 

RULES FOR CHANGING DIRECT INTO INDIRECT SPEECH

n     Get one thing straight-you do not have to learn the rules by heart. Simply understand what they ask you to do and apply the same in converting a sentence from direct to indirect

n     RULE ONE:-If in direct speech you find say/says or will say then DO NOT CHANGE THE TENSE that you can find within the quotation marks

EXAMPLES-RULE ONE

n     I say  I am elated

n     He says,” I was a fool then”

n     He says  he was a fool then.
