REPORTED SPEECH

Done BY Grade 7th B

Direct or quoted speech is a sentence (or several sentences) that reports speech or thought in its original form phrased by the original speaker. It is usually enclosed in quotation marks.

EG:He laid down his bundle and thought of his misfortune. "And just what pleasure have I found, since I came into this world?" he asked.

DIRECT SPEECH

Reported Speech (also called Indirect Speech) is used to communicate what someone else said, but without using the exact words. A few changes are necessary; often a pronoun has to be changed and the verb is usually moved back a tense, where possible.

EG: He said that he was going to come. (The person's exact words were "I'm going to come.")
