Direct and Indirect Speech

 

Direct and Indirect Speech

 We can say in two different ways what someone has said:

-        Direct speech

-        Indirect speech or Reported speech

Ex:

-         Channa said: “ I want to go to school.” Direct Speech.

Channa said that he wanted to go to school. ISp

      Notice:  1:The Verbs that were in the present tense in Direct speech become past tense in reported speech.

Ex: -I want to go to school.

He wanted to go school.

-I want to retire.

He wanted to retire.

2: Future in the past ( will / shall)

At first sight it may seem rather a contradiction to speak of putting shall/will, as you know, are used to form the future tense. But would /should is called future in the past.

I/ We shall==>I /we should

  he/she/ it/ you/they will   

 ==>he/she/ it/ you/they would

Ex: “you will be able to run the business”.

He said that I should be able to run the business.

Notice:  if the examples are given:

1^st person  changed  to 3^rd person

2^nd person  changed to1^st person

EX: Channa said :  “ I want to go to school”

Channa said that he wanted to go to school.
