Rules in changing direct discourse to indirect discourse?
Answer:
change it..!!
you need to change the quotation mark to perform a sentence,you also need to change the verb into past tense or past participle whether the sentence have a said introductory sentence..the helping verbs in the quoted part are changed to when the introductory verb is in the past tense:will-would,shall-should,must-had to,has/have-had,may-might,and can-could.change the present tense-past tense,past tense-past participle,present progressive-past progressive.
when the quoted part explains general truth it remains in the present tense.
when the introductory verb is in the present tense the quoted part also remains as it is like in the direct discourse.take note:that you need to add or insert the word that after the introductory verb when changing to indirect.
the adverb and adjective remain unchange when it is said at the same time and at the same place,but changed when it is said at another time and place.
