This document defines and compares direct and indirect narration. Direct narration reports someone's exact words within quotation marks, while indirect narration reports the general idea without quotations. There are rules for changing between the two: direct to indirect removes quotations, adds "that", changes subjects and tenses; indirect to direct adds quotations and changes subjects and tenses back. Examples are given to illustrate the rules and an exercise is provided to practice changing between direct and indirect narration.
