Exit Learning Outcomes
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
DIRECT SPEECH
•Direct speech means to say exactly
what the other one said.
•Quotation marks have to be used
in a direct speech.
INDIRECT SPEECH
• Indirect speech refers to a sentence expressing what the other said.
• Quotation marks are not used in an indirect speech.
• However, in an indirect speech, the tense should be changed; that is
because when an indirect speech is used, it is always used to talk
about a time in the past.
• Sometimes an indirect speech will use a reporting verb such as: tell,
ask
say.

Direct Speech & Indirect Speech
•“Whether” and “if” should be put before an
indirect speech if we change a direct speech
question sentence into an indirect speech
sentence.
EXAMPLE
• Direct Speech: The teacher asked me, "Have you finished
your exercises?"
• Indirect Speech: The teacher asked me whether I had
finished my exercises.
• Direct Speech: Mr. Lee asked him, "Do you know how to say
it in English?"
• Indirect Speech: Mr. Lee asked him if he knew how to say it
in English.
Indirect Questions
•Indirect questions are polite, longer forms of
normal questions. Indirect questions are formed
of two parts: a polite expression, and a question
which has no subject/verb inversion like a
normal question.
For example:
• Do you know where she comes from?
• The polite expression is "Do you know...",
• and the question part is ".where she comes from.”
• The Verb “do” and “does” is not used in indirect
questions, and question marks are not used, either.
The rules for forming an indirect question
sentence are listed in the following table:
Direct Question Indirect Question
Where did you go last night? Please let me know where you
went last night.
Direct Question Indirect Question
What will you buy? I wonder what you will buy.
The rules continue…..
Direct Question Indirect Question
Where did you go last night? Please let me know where you
went last night.
Direct Question Indirect Question
What will you buy? I wonder what you will buy.

  • 1. Chairman Mao Zedong High School ENGLISH 2nd LANGUAGE Direct Speech & Indirect Speech By: Mr. Fillipus Lineekela
  • 2. Exit Learning Outcomes By the end of this unit you should be able to:
  • 3. DIRECT SPEECH •Direct speech means to say exactly what the other one said. •Quotation marks have to be used in a direct speech.
  • 4. INDIRECT SPEECH • Indirect speech refers to a sentence expressing what the other said. • Quotation marks are not used in an indirect speech. • However, in an indirect speech, the tense should be changed; that is because when an indirect speech is used, it is always used to talk about a time in the past. • Sometimes an indirect speech will use a reporting verb such as: tell, ask say.
  • 5. Direct Speech & Indirect Speech EXAMPLE Direct Speech Miss Wang said, “I am going swimming” “The dinner will be ready in ten minutes” My mother said. Indirect Speech Miss Wang said she was going swimming. My mother said the dinner would be ready in ten minutes.
