are narrated and are enclosed in a quotation
mark? Direct Speech, Ma’am.
 What do you call when the original words of

are not enclosed in a quotation mark?

Now, what is our topic for today? Direct and Indirect Speech Ma’am.
That’s right! Our lesson is Direct and Indirect
Speech.

C. Discussion

Now that you know the topic for today’s lesson,

What is direct speech?

Original words of person are narrated
and are enclosed in a quotation mark.
That’s right!
Saying exactly what someone has said is called
direct speech or can be called quoted speech,
what a person says appears within quotation
marks and should be word for word.

Example:

Thomas said, “I will call you tomorrow.”

How about the Indirect Speech?

When the original words of person are

reported observing some changes and
Great answer! Indirect speech also known as are not enclosed in a quotation mark.
reported speech, quoting a person’s words
without using his own word and bringing about
any change in the meaning of the statement is a
reported speech.

Example: Thomas said that he would call me the

next day.
When we use indirect speech?

We use indirect speech or reported

Look at the following sentences: someone said previously.

Direct Speech

Indirect Speech She says, “ I am a little bit nervous.”

indirect speech.

1. She told him that she was happy. Indirect speech

2. “There’s a fly in my soup!” screamed Direct speech
Simone.
3. She said that she had seen him. Indirect speech
4. John said, “There’s an elephant outside the Indirect speech
window.
5. Tatah said that he was very tired. Indirect speech
In the first sentence, the reporter conveys the
message of the girl using her actual words ( I am
little bit nervous) in the second sentence, the
reporter conveys her message but in his own
words without any change in meaning. Thus,
both direct and indirect speeches are two
different ways of reporting a statement of
person. In simple words, quoting a person using
your own words is called an indirect speech.

This time, I will be playing a video about the

rules in changing direct to indirect speech.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTmmxUxta6U

The video presentation shows ideas or

information how to change direct speech to
indirect speech.

Rules in Changing Direct Speech to

Indirect/Reported Speech

Rule 1:
Use of conjunction ‗that‘ before the indirect
speech except in case of imperative
sentences and exclamatory sentences.
Read the examples group 1
e.g. Hari said, “I am very tired.”
Hari said that he was very tired.
Hari said, “I am very tired.”
Rule 2: Hari said that he was very tired.
Change in pronouns of first and second person in
Direct speech to third person in
indirect speech taking into account the gender of
the subject.
Read the examples group 2
e.g. Ram said “I am very busy”.
Ram said that he was very busy. Ram said “I am very busy”.
Ram said that he was very busy.
Rule 3:
If reporting verb is in Present or Future Tense,
the tense of the verb in the reported
speech is not changed.
Read the examples group 3
e.g. He says “I am busy”. He says “I am busy”.
He says that he is busy. He says that he is busy.
He will say “I was busy.” He will say “I was busy.”
He will say that he was busy He will say that he was busy

Rule 4:
If reporting verb is in the Past Tense, the tense of
the verb in the reported speech is
also changed into one of the forms of the past
tense. Thus the verb changes as per
norms given below.
Read the examples Group 4
a. The Present Simple Tense becomes Past
Simple Tense
He said “I play football every evening”.
He said he played football every evening.
 b. Present Continuous becomes Past Continuous
He said “I am playing football”.
He said he was playing football.
c. Present Perfect becomes Past Prefect

f. Future Perfect becomes Conditional Perfect
