, INDIRECT SPEECH
♣ Indirect speech is when you report what a person has said.
♣ Many changes occur when we convert direct speech into indirect speech.
♣ The changes are as follows:
Remove the comma and add the word that.
Take away all quotation marks.
Change all pronouns.
Check your tense.
Add the word if or whether to questions.
Keep present tense sentences in present tense e.g. says
E.g. Anna says, “I love the smell of roses.”
Anna says that she loves the smell of roses.
All sentences with the word said, will move one stage back in tense.
E.g. Joe said, “I am feeling tired.”
Joe said that he was feeling tired.
