The document provides examples of changing direct speech to reported speech and vice versa. It also contains exercises to identify whether sentences are in the active or passive voice, and to convert between active and passive voice where needed. For the direct to reported speech conversions, quotation marks are removed or added and pronouns and verbs are changed to reflect the different perspective. The active/passive voice questions require determining whether the subject performs or receives the action.
