Topic: Using Indirect Words

“Why are you selling souvenirs on the streets?” Mishkin asked.

“This is everybody’s home,” the boy answered.

1. Mishkin wondered, “Fighting does not stop.”

2. An older boy commented, “You do not belong here.”
3. Other boys ordered, “Get out of here.”
 Direct Speech
“Classmates, the story we will read is
about Mishkin, a boy from Jerusalem,”
Marjie said.
“I want Princess May to explain the moral
of the story,” teacher Joy added.
Indirect Speech
Marjie told her classmates that the story
they would read was about Mishkin, a boy
from Jerusalem.
Teacher Joy added that she wanted
Princess May to explain the moral of the
story.

B. Discussion
Do you remember the story of Mishkin, a young Jew who has lived in Jerusalem all his life?
Read the conversation from a text you have read.
What are the exact words of Mishkin?
What did the boy say?
How are these words separated from the speakers’ names?
What words introduce the exact words of the speaker?
The exact words of a speaker may come after the speaker’s name and the words used to
introduce them. Study the other examples below.
Aside from asked and said, what other words are commonly used to introduce the exact
words of the speaker?
The other way of expressing the words of a speaker is through indirect or reported speech.
In this manner, the direct or exact words of a speaker are not quoted or exactly quoted.
(Proceed to the chart direct and indirect speech).
What changes have been made in the indirect speech?
Notice that the quotation marks have been dropped.
C. Generalization

 Direct speech or direct discourse is the exact words of the speaker. The quoted
words are usually separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.
 Indirect speech is a report of a speaker’s words or messages.

D. Application
From the excerpt “The Proud King” underline the exact direct words of the speaker.
In one half sheet of paper choose five direct speeches and change them into indirect
speech.
 The Proud King

The proud king fled. He knew no place to go.

“I wish I were dead,” the king said to himself.
By and by he reached the lake where he had bathed. He sat down on
the shore. It was like a dream, but he knew he was awake, for he was cold and
hungry and faint. Then, he knelt on the ground, and he said, “I am no emperor
and king but a sinful man.”
As he beat his breast, he continued, “I thought there was no one
greater than I on Earth and in heaven.”
Then crying, the king said, “God forgive me for my pride.”
He rose, put on his clothes, mounted his horse, and rode to the
palace. As he drew near the door opened and servants came forth.
One held his horse; another helped him dismount.
“I did not see you go out my Lord,” the porter said.
As the king entered, the queen and the nobles came forward to meet
him. The man who called himself an emperor earlier also came forward. He
was now clad in shining white. The king bowed his head before him.
“I am your angel,” the man said. “You were proud and now you are
humble.” The king was silent.
I have watched over your kingdom in your absence, and now I give it back to
you,” the man added. Then the angel disappeared.
From then on, the king ruled wisely and humbly.
