1 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 1 DIRECT SPEECH In direct speech, we quote the actual words of a speaker. (a) We always put the spoken words and the attendant final punctuation marks within inverted commas. 1. I said, Please put the books on the table. 2. She exclaimed, What a beautiful day this is! 3. Let s go out for a walk, she said. 4. Did you do it? the inspector asked the man. (b) When speech or titles of books or films occur within speech, we have to use another set of inverted commas. 1. He remarked, Mary said How do you do? when she saw Tom. 2. I asked, Have you read the book Born Free? (c) When a person is addressed directly, his name is separated from the rest of the words by commas. 1. The teacher said, John, will you come here? 2. I want to ask you something, Peter, the man said. 3. Come here, John, and help me carry this load, his father said. (d) Direct speech may sometimes be interrupted by reporting verbs. Be careful to punctuate the sentences correctly. 1. (a) If she finishes her work, she will help me, Collin said. (b) If she finishes her work, Collin said, she will help me. 2. (a) It s getting late. We had better go now, I said. 3. (b) It s getting late, I said. We had better go now.

3 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 3 INDIRECT SPEECH: STATEMENTS Indirect speech reports the words of a speaker. There are several changes that have to be made when direct speech changes to indirect speech. (a) Punctuation: We do not use commas or inverted commas in indirect speech. Indirect: I told my brother, I will not go with you. I told my brother that I would not go with him. Direct : Indirect: You must go first, Jeffrey, the teacher said. The teacher told Jeffrey that he had to go first. (b) Tenses: Changes in tenses depend on the situation. We DO NOT CHANGE the tense when: (i) the statement is a general truth: Indirect: She said, Man needs air in order to live. She said that man needs air in order to live. [general truth no tense change] Indirect: He told the boys, The earth is a sphere. He told the boys that the earth is a sphere. [general truth no tense change] (ii) the introductory verb is in the present of future tense: Indirect: She says, I m sorry that I m late. She says that she is sorry that she is late. [no tense change but change of form to agree with new pronoun she ] Indirect: He will say, I have work to do. He will say that he has work to do. [no tense change but change of form to agree with new pronoun he ]

4 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 4 (iii) the action is still continuing or will happen: Indirect: They said, We will be playing in the field. They said that they will be playing in the field. Indirect: She said, I will bake a cake for you tonight. She said that she will bake a cake for me tonight. (c) However, when the situation is not shown, we may assume that the action happened in the past. In that case, always move the TENSE one step back in time [= BACKSHIFT]. DIRECT SPEECH She said, INDIRECT SPEECH She said that SIMPLE PRESENT I have to go now. SIMPLE PAST she had to go then. PRESENT CONTINUOUS He is working here. PAST CONTINUOUS he was working there. SIMPLE PAST She left last night. PAST PERFECT she had left the previous night. MODAL [e.g. will, can, may, shall] I will do this tomorrow. MODAL [e.g. would, could, might, should] she would do that the next day. PRESENT PERFECT He has done this weeks ago. PAST PERFECT he had done that weeks before.

5 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 5 (d) PLACE and TIME: Observe these changes. DIRECT SPEECH now ago last next today tomorrow yesterday here this these last week next year INDIRECT SPEECH then before previous following that day the next day / the following day the previous day there that those the week before the following year Check whether or not the place and time are the same in the direct and reported speech situations. Read the following example: i. It is Friday and you meet James at a restaurant. James tells you that he saw Caroline in this restaurant today: I saw Caroline here today. ii. A few minutes later, Helen joins you and you want to report what James has told you. Place (here) and time (today) are the same and you can say: James said that he had seen Caroline here today. iii. iv. One day later, you meet Mary at the same restaurant. Again, you want to report to her what James has told you. The place is the same, but not the time (it happened yesterday). So you would say: James said that he had seen Caroline here yesterday. Still a few days later, Tom rings you at home. Again, you want to report to him what James has told you. However, now you are not at the restaurant (but at home) and a few days have passed since then. So you would say: James said that he had seen Caroline at the restaurant on Friday. I met James in a restaurant on Friday and he said that he had seen Caroline there that day. Therefore you always have to think which place and time expressions are logical in a certain situation.

6 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 6 (e) PRONOUNS and POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES: These must be changed so that the identity of the person concerned will be clear. IN I said, I have to finish my work first. I said that I had to finish my work first. (unchanged because reporter is referring to self) IN She said, I have to wash my clothes now. She said that she had to wash her clothes then. IN He told me, I am going to renew my identity card. He told me that he was going to renew his identity card. (f) MUST in direct speech is changed to HAVE TO / HAS TO / WILL HAVE TO in indirect speech. However, its negative mustn t is not changed. IN IN IN He said, I must change out of my wet clothes. (Present) He said that he has to change out of his wet clothes. She said, I must tell her the news tomorrow. (Future) She said that she will have to tell her the news the next day. I said, You must not go out in the rain. I said that she must not go out in the rain. [No change] (g) The verbs COULD, SHOULD, WOULD, MIGHT, MUST, NEEDN T, OUGHT TO, USED TO do not normally change. (h) Main clauses connected with and / but If two complete main clauses are connected with and or but, put that after the conjunction. He said, I saw her but she didn t see me. IN He said that he had seen her but that she hadn t seen him. If the subject is left out in the second main clause (the conjunction is followed by a verb), do not use that : She said, I am a nurse and work in a hospital. IN He said that she was a nurse and worked in a hospital.

7 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 7 EXERCISE 2: INDIRECT SPEECH: STATEMENTS Put the following into indirect speech. Be careful of your tenses. She told me, I ll finish reading this book later. She told me that she would finish reading that book later. 1. I said, I ve borrowed your ruler, Annie. 2. The doctor explained, Having an X-ray taken is not painful. 3. The teacher told us, A diamond is a very valuable stone. 4. The teacher explained, Intransitive verbs do not have objects. 5. He said, I shall go there tomorrow. 6. I said to him, I will not take back what I have said. 7. She says, Examinations will never be abolished. 8. You are lying, they told her. 9. He said, I lived many years in India. 10. He will say, We do not know where Polly has gone. 11. Her brother came here last week, I said. 12. She told me, I finished my embroidery work days ago. 13.

You mustn t be so slow with your work next time, the supervisor told the girl.

8 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 8 INDIRECT QUESTIONS (a) In indirect questions the SUBJECT COMES BEFORE THE VERB, as in a simple statement. He asked me, Who are you? IN He asked me who I was. She asked me, Where is Desmond? IN She asked me where Desmond was. (b) Change of TENSE, PLACE, TIME, PRONOUNS AND POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES also apply to indirect questions. Remember that these changes DEPEND ON THE SITUATION indicated. He asked me, What are you doing here? Indirect: He asked me what I am doing here. (present) Indirect: He asked me what I was doing there. (past) (c) We do NOT use inverted commas, commas or question marks in indirect questions. She asked him, Are you feeling all right? Indirect: She asked him if he was feeling all right. I asked her, What is your name? Indirect: I asked her what her name is.

9 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 9 (d) To introduce indirect questions, we use REPORTING VERBS like asked, inquired, wondered, etc. Where have you been? IN She asked me where I had been. Does Mr Long live here? IN I enquired whether Mr Long lived there. What is going on here? IN He demanded to know what was going on there. (e) There are two types of Direct Questions: (i) WITH INTERROGATIVE WORDS like what, where, who, when, why, and how. (ii) WITHOUT INTERROGATIVE WORDS, i.e. questions beginning with have, do, etc Note the different ways the two types of direct questions are converted to indirect questions: TYPE (i) WITH INTERROGATIVE DIRECT INDIRECT EXAMPLE Why don t you speak English? He asked me why I didn t speak English. (ii) WITHOUT INTERROGATIVE DIRECT INDIRECT Do you speak English? He asked me whether I spoke English. He asked me if I spoke English. Instead of that, indirect questions use either INTERROGATIVE WORDS as in Type (i) above, or it uses whether/if as in Type (ii) above. The auxiliary verb do is not used in indirect questions.

10 BEDOK NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL 10 (f) Other Examples Of Direct Questions Without Interrogative Words: Have you brought it with you? he asked me. IN He asked me whether I had brought it with me. The teacher asked us, Is the lesson clear enough? IN The teacher asked us if the lesson was clear enough. (g) Students sometimes find difficulty with the words SHALL and SHOULD. These words change according to their meanings. I asked him Shall I cook something special? IN I asked him if I should cook something special. (request for advice) Shall I be all right, Doctor? he asked. IN He asked the doctor if he would be all right. (change of pronoun) Should I leave him alone? she wondered. IN She wondered if she should leave him alone. ( should meaning ought to remains unchanged)
