4 POINTS ON INDIRECT SPEECH

 

1.    Indirect speech, also called as reported speech restates a question or an utterance in an indirect manner.

2.    Certain grammatical categories are changed in relating to the words in the original sentences.

3.    Indirect speech is not normally enclosed in quotation marks to indicate that they are not the speaker’s words.

4.     Usually personal nouns, demonstratives, words indicating time and place and tense change according to the context.
