· 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.
· In  Exclamatory sentences that express grief, sorrow, happiness, applaud,  Interjections are removed and the sentence is  changed to an assertive sentence.
