Direct And Indirect Speech Rules - Byjus

Rule 1 - Direct To Indirect Speech Conversion - Reporting Verb. 1. When The reporting verb of direct speech is in past tense then all the present tenses are.



Unit 12A Grammar: Reported Speech(1 - B2English

Grammar: Reported Speech(1) Direct Speech (also known as indirect speech) Reported Speech Greg: “I am cooking dinner Maya ”Maya: “Greg said he was cooking dinner ” So most often the reported speech is going to be in the past tense because the original statement will now be in the past! Take note: (quotation marks)

What are the rules of reported speech?

Reported speech is the form in which one can convey a message said by oneself or someone else, mostly in the past. It can also be said to be the third person view of what someone has said. In this form of speech, you need not use quotation marks as you are not quoting the exact words spoken by the speaker, but just conveying the message.

How do you use reported speech?

Reported speech is used when someone says a sentence, like, "I'm going to the movie tonight". Later, we want to tell a 3rd person what the first person is doing. We use a reporting verb i.e 'say' or 'tell'. In the present tense, just put in 'he says. Direct Speech: I like burgers. Reported Speech: He says (that) he likes burgers.

How do you change direct speech to reported speech?

As discussed earlier, when transforming a sentence from direct speech into reported speech, you will have to change the pronouns, tense and adverbs of time and place used by the speaker. Let us look at the following tables to see how they work. Example: Preethi said, “I cook pasta.” Example: Preethi said that she cooked pasta.

What are some examples of reported speech?

Here are some types of reported speech: Reported speech is used when someone says a sentence, like, "I'm going to the movie tonight". Later, we want to tell a 3rd person what the first person is doing. We use a reporting verb i.e 'say' or 'tell'. In the present tense, just put in 'he says. Direct Speech: I like burgers.

Reported Speech

Reported Statements

When do we use reported speech? Sometimes someone says a sentence, for example "I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later, maybe we want to tell someone else what the first person said. Here's how it works: We use a reporting verb like 'say' or 'tell'. If this verb is in the present tense, it's easy.

We just put 'she says' and then the sentence.

Direct speech: I like ice cream.

Reported speech: She says she likes ice cream.

We don't need to change the tense, though probably we do need to change the 'person' from 'I' to 'she', for example. We also may need to change words like 'my' and 'your'. On the other hand, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the tenses in the reported speech:

Direct speech: I like ice cream.

Reported speech: She said she liked ice cream.

Occasionally, we don't need to change the present tense into the past if the information in direct speech is still true (but this is only for things which are general facts, and even then usually we like to change the tense):

Direct speech: The sky is blue.

Reported speech: She said that the sky is/was blue. Tense

Reported Questions

So now you have no problem with making reported speech from positive and negative sentences. But how about questions?

Direct speech: Where do you live?

Reported speech: She asked me where I lived.

How can we make the reported speech here? In fact, it's not so different from reported statements. The tense changes are the same, and we keep the question word. The very important thing though is that, once we tell the question to someone else, it isn't a question any more. So we need to change the grammar to a normal positive sentence.: Do you see how I made it? The direct question is in the present simple tense. We make a present simple question with 'do' or 'does' so I need to take that away. Then I need to change the verb to the past simple. Another example:

Direct speech: Where is Julie?

Reported speech: She asked me where Julie was.

The direct question is the present simple of 'be'. We make the question form of the present simple of be by inverting (changing the position of) the subject and verb. So, we need to change them back before putting the verb into the past simple. Here are some more examples:

Direct Question Reported Question

"Where is the Post Office, please?"

She asked me where the Post Office was.

"What are you doing?"

She asked me what I was doing.

"Who was that fantastic man?"

She asked me who that fantastic man had

been.

Direct speech:

Reported speech:

Do you like chocolate?

She asked me if I liked chocolate.

No problem? Here are a few more examples:

Direct Question Reported Question

"Do you love me?" He asked me if I loved him. "Have you ever been to

Mexico?"

She asked me if I had ever been to Mexico.

"Are you living here?"

She asked me if I was living here.

Reported Requests

There's more! What if someone asks you to do something (in a polite way)?

For example:

Direct speech: Close the window, please.

Or: Could you close the window please?

Or: Would you mind closing the window please?

All of these requests mean the same thing, so we don't need to report every word when we tell another person about it. We simply use 'ask me + to + infinitive': Reported speech: She asked me to close the window.

Here are a few more examples:

Direct Request Reported Request

"Please help me". She asked me to help her. "Please don't smoke". She asked me not to smoke. "Could you bring my book tonight?" She asked me to bring her book that night. "Could you pass the milk, please?" She asked me to pass the milk. "Would you mind coming early tomorrow?" She asked me to come early the next day.

To report a negative request, use 'not':

Direct speech: Please don't be late.

Reported speech: She asked us not to be late.

Reported Orders

And finally, how about if someone doesn't ask so politely? We can call this an 'order' in English, when someone tells you very directly to do something. For example:

Direct speech: Sit down!

In fact, we make this into reported speech in the same way as a request. We just use 'tell' instead of 'ask.'

Reported speech: She told me to sit down.

Direct Order Reported Order

"Go to bed!" He told the child to go to bed. "Don't worry!" He told her not to worry. "Be on time!" He told me to be on time. "Don't smoke!" He told us not to smoke.

Time Expressions with Reported Speech

Sometimes when we change direct speech into reported speech we have to change time expressions too. We don't always have to do this, however. It depends on when we heard the direct speech and when we say the reported speech. For example:

It's Monday. Julie says "I'm leaving today".

If I tell someone on Monday, I say "Julie said she was leaving today". If I tell someone on Tuesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving yesterday". If I tell someone on Wednesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving on Monday". If I tell someone a month later, I say "Julie said she was leaving that day". So, there's no easy conversion. You really have to think about when the direct speech was said.

Here's a table of some possible conversions.

now then / at that time today yesterday / that day / Tuesday / the 27th of June yesterday The day before yesterday / the day before / Wednesday / the 5th of December last night the night before, Thursday night last week the week before / the previous week tomorrow today / the next day / the following day / Friday
