Indirect Narration

Introduction
Indirect narration, also known as indirect speech or reported speech, is a way of expressing someone else's words or thoughts without using their exact words. It is commonly used when we want to report what someone said or thought in a more concise or indirect manner. In indirect narration, the reported speech is usually introduced by verbs such as said, told, asked, wondered, etc. In this response, we will convert a few sentences into indirect narration while following the given rules.

Example Sentences:
1. Direct: She said, "I am going to the store."
Indirect: She said that she was going to the store.

2. Direct: He asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
Indirect: He asked if I had finished my homework.

3. Direct: "Why did you leave the party early?" she wondered.
Indirect: She wondered why I had left the party early.

Explanation
Let's analyze each sentence and convert it into indirect narration while adhering to the rules:

1. The direct sentence is: "She said, 'I am going to the store.'"
- In indirect narration, we need to change the pronouns, tenses, and time expressions.
- The verb 'said' becomes 'said that.'
- The pronoun 'she' remains the same.
- The present tense 'am' changes to the past tense 'was.'
- The time expression 'now' changes to 'then.'
The indirect sentence becomes: She said that she was going to the store.

2. The direct sentence is: "He asked, 'Have you finished your homework?'"
- The verb 'asked' remains the same.
- The pronoun 'he' remains the same.
- The present perfect tense 'have finished' changes to the past perfect tense 'had finished.'
The indirect sentence becomes: He asked if I had finished my homework.

3. The direct sentence is: "'Why did you leave the party early?' she wondered."
- The verb 'wondered' remains the same.
- The pronoun 'she' remains the same.
- The past tense 'did' changes to the past perfect tense 'had done.'
- The time expression 'early' remains the same.
The indirect sentence becomes: She wondered why I had left the party early.

Conclusion
Indirect narration is a useful tool for reporting someone else's words or thoughts. By changing the pronouns, tenses, and time expressions, we can convey the same information in a more indirect and concise manner. It is important to pay attention to these changes while converting sentences from direct to indirect narration.
