FAQs on Worksheet: The Direct & Indirect Speech - English Grammar Class 7

1. What is direct speech?
Ans. Direct speech is when we report someone's exact words or speech, using quotation marks to indicate the spoken words. For example, if someone says, "I am going to the park," we can report it as direct speech by writing, "She said, 'I am going to the park.'"
2. What is indirect speech?
Ans. Indirect speech is when we report someone's words or speech without using their exact words. Instead, we report the meaning of what was said, using reporting verbs such as 'said,' 'told,' 'asked,' etc. For example, if someone says, "I am going to the park," we can report it as indirect speech by writing, "She said that she was going to the park."
3. How do we change a question from direct speech to indirect speech?
Ans. To change a question from direct speech to indirect speech, we need to use the reporting verb 'asked' or 'wondered' and change the word order. If the question starts with a question word like 'who,' 'what,' 'where,' etc., we also need to change the question word. For example, if someone asks, "Where are you going?", we can report it as indirect speech by writing, "She asked where I was going."
4. Can we change the tense when converting from direct speech to indirect speech?
Ans. Yes, we can change the tense when converting from direct speech to indirect speech. The tense usually changes to reflect the time of the reported speech. For example, if someone says, "I will come tomorrow," in direct speech, we can report it as indirect speech by writing, "She said that she would come the next day."
5. Is punctuation important when reporting direct speech?
Ans. Yes, punctuation is important when reporting direct speech. We should use quotation marks to enclose the exact words spoken, and we should also use appropriate punctuation marks such as commas, question marks, exclamation marks, etc., to accurately convey the tone and meaning of the spoken words.
