Direct speech is when someone's exact words are reported using quotation marks. In this sentence, the exact words "Please close the door" are enclosed in quotation marks, indicating direct speech.

Test: Narration - Question 6
Save

Which of the following sentences is in Direct Speech?

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Option b) is a sentence that is directly quoting what someone said, and is therefore in Direct Speech.

Test: Narration - Question 7
Save

Which is the correct indirect speech of the following sentence ?
She said, "I did my work".

Detailed Solution: Question 7

The correct answer is "She said that she had done her work."
 In the given sentence the reporting verb has no object. Hence, 'said' will not be changed.  Comma and inverted commas will be removed.  The conjunction 'that' will be added. 'I' will be changed into 'she' because the first person pronoun is changed according to the subject of the reporting verb. 'did not enjoy' will be changed into 'had not enjoyed' because the simple past tense changes into the past perfect tense.

Test: Narration - Question 8

Words like "said," "told," and "asked" are commonly used in sentences in Indirect Speech.

Option d) is a sentence in the past tense, and when changed to Indirect Speech, does not require any change in tense.

Save

Which of the following sentences is an example of a statement in Indirect Speech?

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Direct Speech: She said, "I will come tomorrow."
Indirect Speech: She said that she would come the next day.

In indirect speech, we do not use quotation marks, and the tense of the verb often changes (in this case, "will" becomes "would"). Additionally, time expressions like "tomorrow" change to "the next day."
