7. How do we change a direct speech into
indirect?
It will be noticed that in
Direct Speech, we use inverted commas
to mark off the exact words of the speaker. In Indirect Speech we
do not use the inverted commas.
It will be further noticed that in changing the above Direct Speech into Indirectspeech, certain changes have been made.
Thus:
i. We have used the conjunction ‘that’ before the Indirect Statement.
ii. The pronoun “I” is changed to “HE”. (The Pronoun is changed in Person)
iii. The verb “am” is changed to “was”.
iv. The adverb “now” is changed to “then”.
