I am facing problems in doing the questions reported speech or indirect and direct speech. Please tell me how to convert an indirect speech to a direct speech and vice versa. Tell me fast I have an exam tomorrow
Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words.? repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words.?
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask'.
Therefore
Rules for conversion of Indirect Speech to Direct Speech
1.Use the reporting verb, "say" or "said to" in its correct tense.
2.Remove the conjuctions "that, to, if or whether etc". ...
3.Insert quotation marks, question mark, exclamation and fullstop, wherever necessary.
4.Put a comma before the statement.
5. Start the sentence with quotation marks and end using the same.
