Rules for converting direct speech to indirect speech-
· When the reporting verb of direct speech is in past tense then all the present tenses are changed to the corresponding past tense in indirect speech.
· Reporting verbs such as ‘said/ said to’ changes to said, told.
· Comma inverted comma will be replaced with conjunction “That”.
· The
first person in direct speech
changes as per the subject of the speech.
· The
second person of direct speech
changes as per the object of reporting speech.
· The
third person of direct speech
doesn’t change.
· This conversion from direct to indirect speech correctly changes 'I' to 'he' and shifts 'now' to 'then' to reflect the change in perspective and temporal context.
