Rules For Changing Direct Speech To Reported Speech

1. Changes in reporting verb

• Affirmative sentences: said, told (object), asserted, replied, assured, informed, responded, whispered, alleged, believed, assumed, thought
• Interrogative sentences: asked, inquired, wanted to know, enquired
• Imperative sentences: ordered, begged, pleaded, implored, advised, demanded

2. Change of pronouns

• The conjunction that is used to connect the reporting verb with what is said.
• A first-person and second-person generally change to third person (depending upon object to reporting verb)
• In case the reporting verb is in present, the tense of verb in reported speech continues to remain in the present tense.

3. Change of tenses When we report something after a certain period of time, and what we are talking about has already happened, we change the tense of the sentence being reported into a corresponding past tense. Read the following table carefully.

In general, present tense becomes past tense:

• Past tense becomes past perfect tense.
• Past continuous becomes past perfect continuous tense.
• Past perfect and past perfect continuous remain unchanged.

4. Change of situations When we report sentences in indirect speech, the words denoting places or time are changed.

5. Universal truths When universal truths are being reported we may choose either to retain the original tense of the sentence or to change it.

6. Questions and answers

7. Commands, orders and requests

8. Modals verbs

Changes in modals

• can – could
• will – would
• shall – should
• may – might

Would, should, could, might, ought to and must are unchanged.
