E. LET'S LEARN GRAMMAR :
Class 5 Bihar Board English Book Question 1.

Read the following sentences : 

(a) The wolf said, “Let me in, little pig." . 

(b) The mother told them, “The way to get along in the world is to do things as well as you can."

In sentence (1), the wolf is the speaker, and in sentence  (2), the mother is the speaker. The words/sentences within the quotation marks (“.....") are exact words of the speaker.

We can speak or write the words of another person in two ways:

(i) by repeating the words of the other person as they were.

(ii) by stating the meaning of the words of the other person in our own words.

Suppose Ashu speaks the words, “I am feeling tired.” Any person other than Ashu can express his words in the following two ways:

(1) Ashu said, “I am feeling tired.” Or 

(2) Ashu said that he was feeling tired.

In sentence 

(1), the exact words of the speaker (Ashu), that is, "I am feeling tired” are quoted within quotation marks. This is called the direct or reported speech. 

In sentence (2), we have reported that the speaker (Ashu) Said, that is, he was feeling tired without quoting the exact words. This is called the indirect speech.

In sentences (1) and (2), we observe the following facts : 

(i) The first sentence gives Ashu's words as they were spoken by him. So we have put them within quotation marks (double inverted commas).

(ii) We have used the word that in the second sentence to connect the Ashu's words with the words of the reporting person. 

(iii) As the main clause (with the verb said) was in the past lense, so we changed the dependent clause within the inverted commas into past tense. 

(iv) We changed the pronoun I into he. 

So, you can see that when we change a speech from direct to indirect form, the following changes take place :

(i) We remove the inverted commas cnclosing the direct speech. 

(ii) We use a relative word (conjunction) that before the reported speech. 

(iii) We change the tense of the reported speech according to the rules of sequence of tenses. 

(iv) We change the pronouns of the direct speech under certain rules. 

(v) We also change some other words indicating place, time,

etc. 

1. Change in tenses : 

Direct speech           Indirect or Reported speech 

Simple present        -     Simple past 

Present continuous -    Past continuous 

Present perfect        -    Past perfect 

Present perfect continuous - Past perfect continuous 

Simple past             -   Past perfect 

Shall and will of the       Would 

future tense

2. Change of adverbs and other special words : 

Direct Speech      Indirect or Reported speech 

ago                               before 

here                              there

last (year, night, etc.)   the previous (year, night, etc.) 

Direct Speech   Indirect or Reported speech 

this                      that 

these                  those 

today                  that day 

tomorrow            the following day 

yesterday         the previous day/the day before 

3. Change of Pronouns : 

Direct Speech     -    Indirect or reported speech 

First person pronouns -  According to the person of
the subject of the reporting verb. 

Second person pronoun (you) -  According to the person of the object of the reporting verb 

Third person pronouns (he, she, it, they)  - No Change

Examples:

She said, “I want to meet my friend." 

She said that she wanted to meet her friend. 

They said, “We are going to school." 

They said that they were going to school.

He said to me, “Where are you going ?" 

He asked me where I was going. 

He said, "She will not come.” . 

He said that she would not come.

If the reported speech is a statement (an affirmative sentence), we use the conjunction that and remove the inverted commas. The reporting verb said is changed into told if it has an object after it.

Direct speech : He said, "I am a doctor." 

Indirect speech: He said that he was a doctor. 

Direct speech : He said to me, "I am a doctor." (with object me) 

Indirect speech : He told me that he was a doctor.

If the reported speech is an imperative sentence, we do not use any conjunction (that, etc.). Instead, we use to or not to to join the reporting verb with the reported speech. Also the reporting verb said is changed into ordered, advised, requested, asked, etc.

Direct speech: The teacher said, "Pooja, please speak English !" 

Indirect Speech : The teacher requested Pooja to speak
English. Direct speech : The mother said to her son, "Don't tell lies.” 

Indirect speech : The mother advised her son not to tell lies. 

Direct speech : “Sit down, Aniket”, he said. 

Indirect speech : He asked Aniket to sit down.
