Direct and indirect speech
Direct speech
When we give the exact words used by the
speaker is called DIRECT SPEECH.
Example:- 1. Rama said, “Harry is an idle
boy.”
2.She said, “He is crying.”
Indirect speech
When we do not give the exact words of the
speaker but give only the substance of what the
first person told, this is called INDIRECT
SPEECH.
Example:- 1. Rama said that Harry was an
idle
boy.
2. She said that he was crying.
Rule 2
If the Reporting Verb is in the Past Tense the
Verb in the Reported Speech is also changed to
the Past Tense.

“Kamala works very hard.”
Indirect Speech:- Pinky said that
Kamala worked very hard.

3. The Present Perfect becomes the Past Perfect.
4. May is changed into might; can is changed into could.
5. The Simple Past becomes the Past Perfect.

Continuous.
