repeat a statement that another are changes in the actual
person said. words.

2. James shouted, “I got the first 2. James shouted that he

3. Joy said to Paul, “You passed the 3. Joy told Paul that he had

Rules in Forming Direct and Reported Speech

1. Direct speech has quotation marks (“) (”); reported speech does not use quotation marks.

Example:

Direct Speech: Anna said, “I like your story book.”

Reported Speech: Anna said that she liked my story book.

2. In reported speech, the pronoun often changes.

Examples:

 Direct Speech: Anna said, “I like your story book.”

Reported Speech: Anna said that she liked my story book.

 Direct Speech: Joy said to Paul, “You passed the exam.”

Reported Speech: Joy told Paul that he had passed the exam.”

 Direct Speech: Joanna said, “She looks sad.”

Reported Speech: Joanna said she looked sad..”

3. In reported speech, the word “that” is often used after said, but “that” is optional. In formal English,
we can leave “that” out especially after reporting verbs “says” and “tells.”

Examples:

Reported Speech: Anna said that she liked my story book.

Reported Speech: Mary says her hair is soft.

Reported Speech: He tells me he cares for me.

 4. In reported speech, the time words being used may also change if the report will be given at a
different time. Some common time words being used are the following:

DIRECT SPEECH REPORTED SPEECH

now then, at the time
today that day
tonight that night
yesterday the day before
last night the night before
this week that week, last week
last week the previous week
last month the month before
tomorrow the next day
this afternoon that afternoon

 Direct Speech: John

exclaimed “I am so tired
now.”

Reported Speech: John

exclaimed that he was so
tired then.

 Direct Speech: “It’s been

raining since this afternoon.”

Reported Speech:
He said it’d been raining
since that afternoon.

 Direct Speech: “I haven’t

seen them since last week.”

Reported Speech: She

said she hadn’t seen them
since the previous week.
