DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH

1. When the actual words of the speaker are reproduced, it called direct speech.

Example. He said, "I am going to school."

2. When the main idea of a speakers words are reported by another person and the exact

words are not quoted, it is called indirect speech.

Example. He said that he was going to school.

Rules

1. In converting direct to indirect speech, the conjunction "that" is added before the indirect

speech.

2. The pronoun "I" in direct speech is changed to "he" in indirect speech.
