Direct and Indirect Speech

Direct and Indirect Speech

We use direct speech when we report what somebody A, has said by repeating within quotation marks, exactly the same words used by A.

We use indirect speech when we report what A has said without using the actual words used by A. So, quotation marks are not used.

Example :

Direct Speech - Karan said,"The sun rises in the east."

Indirect Speech - Karan said that the sun rises in the east.

When we change the mode of narration, that is, direct speech to indirect speech, or indirect to direct, we usually have to make some changes. These changes depend on the tense of the verb of speaking, who is saying what to whom, and how.

Look at the five examples given below carefully :
  1. Teacher said,"Honesty is the best policy." (Assertive)
    Teacher said that honesty is the best policy.

  2. Sam asked me,"Have you seen the Taj?" (Question)
    Sam asked me whether I had seen the Taj.

  3. Joy said,"How cold it is today!" (Exclamation)
    Joy exclaimed that it was very cold that day.

  4. The king said,"Everybody must help each other." (Order)
    The king ordered everybody to help each other.
    The king gave an order that everybody must help each other.

  5. Rita said,"Mary, please keep quiet." (Request)
    Rita requested Mary to keep quiet.

We use the word that in place of comma in indirect speech to report what the speaker has spoken.

We use small letter in indirect speech to start the part of inverted commas.

Direct speech is always written within inverted commas ("").

Punctuation

Punctuation

Punctuation is the use of different marks in writing to make the meaning of the sentences clear.

ABC,''s
Capital LettersCommaApostrophePossessive
.?!"..."
Full StopQuestion MarkExclamation MarkInverted Commas

Assertive and Imperative sentences require (.).
Exclamatory sentences and Interjections require (!).
Interrogative sentences require (?).

Capital letters are used :
  • to start a sentence
  • first letter of proper noun
  • first letter of first word of inverted commas
  • first letter of every line of a poem
  • 'I' is always capital

Inverted commas (" ") are used to write direct speech within.

Let us look closely at commas
Usage of CommaExamples
Between items of a series or a listI planted daisies, roses, poppies and dahlias in my garden.
I woke early, ate breakfast, got dressed and went out.
Between three or more adjectives or adverbs of same type.This is an old, brown, wooden table.
He worked quickly, quietly and confidently.
To give a puse in a long sentenceAs it began to rain, we went in doors.

Using a comma to separate the last item in a list is optional; For example, Hari, ram, and Gita or Hari, Ram and gita - both are correct.

Apostrophe with possessive form

We use apostrophe with s to show belonging. This is used to make the possessive form of a noun.

We mostly use apostrophe (') with s with the following:
Apostrophe with possessiveExamples
PeopleThese are the girl's books. (one girl)
These are the girls' books. (two or more girls)
This is Eve's book.
This is my parents' cupboard.
You can sleep in the children's room.
AnimalsThe dog's ears are ling. (one dog)
These are the dogs' biscuits. (two or more dogs)
Some expressions of timeI'm taking a week's holiday in December.
They gave me two months' leave.
Compound wordsMy brother-in-law's house is in the next lane.
The last noun to show joint possession of an objectPeter and Annes' bicycle was stolen yesterday.

With plural nouns, we only add an apostrophe after the -s. For examples :

  • the girls' school
  • the babies' toys

If the plural nouns do not end in an -s, then add the apostrophe and s. For examples :

  • the women's bags
  • the men's coats
  • the children's crayons

We do not use apostrophe and s with names of places. For examples :

  • Kovalam Beach
  • Marine Drive
Apostrophe in contraction

We use apostrophes when we write contractions. The apostrophe shows the missing letter(s). Look at the words given below :

  • are not = aren't
  • will not = won't

Parts of a Sentence

Parts of a sentence

A sentence has two parts :
  1. The subject is the person(s) or the thing(s) we are talking about. It may consist of one word or many words.
  2. The predicate tells us something about the subject. It may also consist of one word or many words.
    An old womanreads holy books
    SubjectPredicate

In some imperative sentences, the subject may not be stated. It is understood.
Complete your work. (You is the hidden subject.)

Sentences

Sentences

A sentence is a group of words that makes a complete sense.

There are four kinds of sentences :
  1. A sentence which simply says or states something is known as declarative or assertive sentence.
    Examples :
    John is an honest boy. (Affirmative)
    Tea is not hot. (Negative)

  2. A sentence which asks a question is known as an interrogative sentence.
    Examples :
    Is John an honest boy?
    Why are trees useful?

  3. A sentence which gives an order or make a request or an entreaty is known as an imperative sentence.
    Examples :
    Be kind. (order)
    Kindly pay the bill. (request)
    Please help me. (entreaty)

  4. A sentence which expresses some strong feeling or emotion is known as exclamatory sentence.
    Examples :
    How beautiful the flower is!
    What a speech she gave!
  • We always put a full stop (.) at the end of Assertive and Imperative sentence.
  • We always put a question mark (?) at the end of Interrogative sentence.
  • We always put an exclamation mark (!) at the end of Exclamatory sentence.

Articles

Articles

There are two types of articles :

  • Indefinite 'a' and 'an'
  • Definite 'the'
Read the table to understand when to use articles
Articles a/anExamples

They are used before singular common countable nouns.
The articles a and an are also used before collective nouns.
a uniform, a ball
a university, a one eyed man, a usual practice, an engine

An is used before singular common countable nouns beginning with a vowel sound, examples : an ox, an MLA

  • Verbs
  • Adverbs
  • Adjectives
  • Conjunctions
  • Prepositions
  • Interjections

After an interjection, we add a mark of exclamation (!).

Examples :
  1. Hush! the baby is asleep.
  2. Help! He is drowning.
  3. Hellp! How are you?
  4. Bravo! You have played well.
Some Interjections
  1. Hurrah! expresses joy.
    Example : Hurrah! We have won the match.

  2. Bravo! expresses appreciation when someone has done something well.
    Example : Bravo! You have played well.

  3. Yuck! (or yuk!) expresses extreme dislike.
    Example : Milk and bread! Yuck! I can't have that for food.

    Example : Hellp! Vasu! How are you?

  5. Alas! expresses sadness.
    Example : Alas! I am ruined!

  8. Wow! expresses surprise and admiration.
    Example : Wow! What a lovely party!

  9. Hush! expresses silence or less noise.
    Example : Hush! Do not talk in the library.

Conjunctions

Conjunctions

Conjunctions are used to join the words, phrases (group of words) and sentences.

Examples :
  1. Will you stay at your uncle's house or my uncles' house? (to join groups of words)
  2. You may stay here until your train arrives. (to join sentences)
  3. I like burger as well as pizza. (to join two words)
  • We use and to join words and sentences with similar ideas.
  • We use but when we want to show difference or contrast. We also use but when something unexpected happens.
  • Because and so are conjunctions that show us reason.
  • Or shows a choice and though shows a fact that makes another fact look surprising or unusual.

While, although, when and since are also conjunctions.

Although is used just like though. They both work like the conjunction but.

Look at these sentences :
  • While the ant was looking for food, the grasshopper was singing.
  • Although the ant warned the grasshopper, it did not care to store any food.
  • When the winter came, the grasshopper had no food for its family.
  • Since there was no food in the house, the grasshoppers starved.
  • While and when are conjunctions of time. They tell us when something happens.
  • You can use although in the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. For example :

    • The grasshopper did not care to store any food, although the ant had warned it to do so.
  • Since is used to tell why something happens. It is called a conjunction of reason, just like because and for.

Prepositions

Preposition

A preposition is a small word that shows the relation between a noun or pronoun and some other word in the sentence.

Examples
  • Kertik jumped into the pool.
  • Do not be afraid of the dog.
  • My car is parked near the gate.
  • There are 4 mangoes in the basket.
