Direct and Indirect

 

 There are some rules we should follow during the transformation of statements into indirect speech.

Remove comma which is after reporting verb and inverted comma.

A conjunction ‘that’ is used after reporting verb.

We have to change some words in indirect speech in place of words used in direct speech. Complete information is given in the course- Unlimited.

 

In indirect speech the word ‘told’ is used instead of ‘said’ and then about the denoted person.

Examples-

1) Direct speech-She said to Sameer, “you are brave”.
