3. DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH
Direct speech- Saying exactly what some one said is called direct speech.In this we use inverted commas["
"] to mark off the exact words of the speaker like
Reported verb example- He said,
Reported speech example- "I am not well"
Indirect Speech- In this we report what the speaker said without quoting his exact words.
Reported verb example- He said
Reported speech example- that he was not well.
IMPORTANT RULES FOR CHANGING DIRECT SPEECH INTO INDIRECT SPEECH
- if REPORTED VERB is in present/future tense,there will be no change in the tense of reported speech like
(DIRECT) He says" I am going to Delhi".
(IN DIRECT)He says that he is going to Delhi.
2. if the words within the quotation marks tell about the universal truth/habitual action, the tense inside quotation marks will not change.
(DIRECT) He says, "The sun rises in the east.
(INDIRECT) He says that the sun rises in the east .
3. if in reported verb there is an object along with 'to' then 'say/says/said' will change into 'tell/tells/told'
respectively.
EXAMPLES
DIRECT- He says to me "I will help you."
INDIRECT-He tells me that he will help me.
DIRECT-She said to me,"I will help you."
INDIRECT- She told me that she will help me.
4. Simple past tense is changed into past perfect.
DIRECT- He said,"He wrote a letter".
