RULES !!

14. Let’s Recall

15. In Direct Speech:
(1) The exact words of the speaker are put within inverted commas.
(2) The word of the Reported Speech begins with a Capital Letter.
(3) A comma is placed after the Reporting Verb to separate it from the second part of the
sentence.
In Indirect Speech:
(1) The reported words are not placed within inverted commas.
(2) No comma is placed after said.
(3) The Verb ‘is’ is changed into ‘was.’
(4) The word ‘that’ is added.

16. RULE 1
Check in the tense

17. * Look at the examples
* Examine the Tenses and guess how
the tense changes in Indirect Speech

John said, “Peter works very hard.” - DIRECT SPEECH
Identify the tense of the verb in this sentence.
Yes, Simple present
John said that Peter worked very hard_. - INDIRECT SPEECH

22. Example 4:
Now look at the following Direct Tenses and try to convert
them to Indirect speech:
1) The teacher said, “The boy may pass.” - Direct Speech
The teacher said that the boy might pass. – Indirect Speech
2) The teacher said, “Harish will not pass.” – Direct Speech
The teacher said that Harish would not pass.

23. Important:
If the Reported Speech contains some universal or
habitual fact, then the Simple Present Tense in the
Reported Speech is not changed into Simple Past, but
remains unchanged
Eg: 1) The teacher said, “Honesty is the best policy.”
The teacher said that honesty is the best policy.

24. RULE 1
Direct Speech Indirect Speech
