2. Statement of the Aim
This morning, we will learn further
about “Direct and Reported Speech.” In
this lesson, we will learn the rules
governing the conversation of direct into
reported speech and vice versa.
B. Generalization
English language has two ways to narrate
the spoken words of a person. These two
ways are the following:
a. Direct Speech
Direct speech is a sentence that gives a
statement or thought in its original form
according to how the original speaker said
it. It is used when quoting someone or
saying exactly what someone has said. It is
sometimes called quoted speech.
Example:
“He planted rice in our land,” replied
Pare Crispin.
“Many men like to borrow rice from
me,” Mang Cesar said.
b. Reported Speech
Reported speech is a sentence that
expresses the content of a statement
without quoting just like what is done in
direct speech.
It is used when we are reporting about
what has been said by the speakers.
Examples:
Pare Crispin replied that he planted rice in
their land.
Mang Cesar said that many men like to
borrow rice from him.

To change direct speech to reported speech

and vice versa, you need to take note
