Understanding Indirect Speech
Indirect speech, also known as reported speech, is used to convey what someone else said without quoting their exact words. It often involves changes in pronouns, verb tenses, and sometimes the structure of the sentence.

Original Statement
The original statement is:
“He said, ‘You can go to your house, Kirti.’”

Conversion to Indirect Speech
To convert this into indirect speech, follow these steps:
- **Change of Pronouns**: The pronoun "you" changes to "she" or "he" depending on the context. Here, since "Kirti" is being addressed, it will change to "she."
- **Change of Verb Tense**: The present tense "can" changes to "could" when converting to indirect speech.
- **Removal of Quotation Marks**: The direct quotation is rephrased without quotes.
- **Punctuation Adjustments**: The punctuation is adjusted accordingly; the comma and period are replaced with appropriate conjunctions.

Converted Indirect Speech
So, the indirect speech would be:
He said that Kirti could go to her house.

Key Points to Remember
- **Pronouns**: Adjust according to the subject of the reporting verb.
- **Tense Changes**: Generally, present tense verbs shift to their past tense forms.
- **Structure**: Ensure that the structure flows naturally without the direct quotation.
This transformation helps maintain the essence of the original speech while modifying it for clarity and comprehension in reported form.
