10. Trisha asked me if I had gotten home safely.

Now, would you like to know more about the direct and reported speech?
What’s new?
In direct speech, the message of the speaker is conveyed or reported in his own actual
words without any change. It is also known as quoted speech. The exact message of
the speaker is enclosed by quotation marks “….”
Examples: The boy said, “I ate pancakes.”
The mother ordered, “Clean the house.” “Is everything clear?” asked John.

A direct speech commonly has a reporting clause, reporting verb, reported clause
and reported verb.

Reported speech is also known as indirect speech. It is a report on what

someone else said or wrote without using that person's exact words. Unlike direct
speech, it doesn’t have quotation marks.
Examples: The boy said that he had eaten pancakes.
The mother ordered to clean the house. John asked if everything was clear.
What is it?
Basic Rules in Changing Direct Speech (DS) to Reported Speech (RS)

1. Changes in Person of Pronouns

 1st person pronouns in reported clause are always changed
according to the subject of the reporting clause.
Examples: DS: Anna said, “I am happy.”
RS: Anna said that she was happy.
nd
 2 person pronouns in reported clause are always changed
according to the object of the reporting clause.
Examples: DS: Joy said to Paul, “You passed the exam.”
RS: Joy told Paul that
 he had passed the exam.
3rd Person pronouns in reported clause are not changed.
Examples: DS: Joana said, “She looks sad.”
RS: Joana said she looked sad.
2. Changes in Verbs
 If the reporting clause is in present tense or future tense, then no change is
required to be made in the verb of reported clause. This verb could be in any
tense.
2|Page
 Example: DS: He says, “I am going to the library.”
RS: He says that he is going to the library.
 If the reporting verb is in past tense, then the reported verb will be changed
depending on its tense.
 The reporting verb said or said to is changed to asked, demanded or inquired.
 For yes/no questions, if or whether is used in place of that.
DS: Joseph said to Jana, “Will you attend the flag ceremony?”
RS: Joseph asked Jana if she would attend the flag ceremony.

 For WH questions, neither if is used nor any other word is added. DS: My little
brother said to the waitress, “What are you doing?” RS: My little brother
asked the waitress what she was doing.

 For imperative (command), the reporting verb said or said to is changed to

ordered or commanded.

he/she could be saying. Write your answers in your notebook.
