E. Presentation of the lesson
Class, our lesson for today is about “Direct and Indirect Discourse.”
While Reading F. Lesson Proper
The teacher will discuss Direct and Indirect Speech including the rules.
DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH
1. When the actual words of the speaker are reproduced, it is called direct speech. Example: He said, ‘I am going to school.’
2.
When the main idea of a speaker’s words is reported by another person and the exact words are not quoted, it is called indirect speech or reported speech.
Example: He said that he was going to school.
Rules:
1. Question marks and exclamation marks are not used in reported speech. Examples: ‘Is it bleeding very much?’ Mr Sharma asked. (direct) Mr Sharma asked if it was bleeding very much. (indirect)
2.
In reported speech, the reporting verbs like asked /enquired, commanded/ ordered/requested, advised/suggested, exclaimed/shouted, etc are often used in place of the reporting verb ‘said’ to convey conv ey the mood of the spoken words. Examples: Ramesh said, ‘How hot the soup is!’ (direct) Ramesh exclaimed that the soup was hot. (indirect)
3.
The tense of the verb in the reported speech is in the past p ast tense. However, if the verb in the reported speech is stating a universal truth, a habit, a constant situation, the tense of that verb does not change: Examples: The boy said, ‘I brush my m y teeth every day.’ (simple present tense) The boy said that he brushes his teeth every day. (simple present tense)
4. In an indirect or reported question, the subject comes before the verb, not after it. You do not use the helping verb ‘do’ to form reported questions. Example: Paul said, ‘What time does the bus b us come?’ (direct) Paul asked what time the bus came. (indirect)
5. The pronouns are also changed in reported speech. Pronouns of the first person are changed as below: Examples: He said, ‘I am bored.’ (direct) He said that he was bored. (indirect)
While converting direct speech into indirect speech, the tense of the verb must change accordingly: Direct Speech
Indirect Speech
Simple Present Simple past Present Continuous Present perfect Shall May Can Will
Simple Past Past Perfect Past Continuous Past Perfect Would Might Could Would
Words indicating ‘nearness’ of time and place are changed to words indicating ‘distance’ of time and place: Direct speech - Indirect speech This — This — that that These — These — those those Here — Here — there there Now — Now — then then Today — Today — that that day Tomorrow — Tomorrow — the the next/following next/following day Yesterday — Yesterday — the the day before/the previous day After discussing, drills of changing direct to indirect speech were employed for students to have first- hand experience….
