When we say things that have been said, we use two ways of expressing it. The first is direct speech when we express what the speaker said as it is and the second is indirect speech where we express what was said in our words.

Examples: If you ask your friend Pradeep, ‘Did you take my book?’, the reply could be ‘Your book is with Jai.’ Now, we can report this statement in two ways:

  • Pradeep told me, ‘Your book is with Jai’.
  • Pradeep told me that my book is with Jai.

Reported Speech With Answers

Rules For Reported Speech While changing direct speech into reported speech or vice versa, the following change:

  • the reporting verb
  • the pronouns
  • the situations
  • report using present and future tenses
  • modal verbs
  • word order with who, which, and what

Rules For Reported Speech

Changes in reporting verb:

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

Change of pronouns:

  • Direct speech: Surabhi said, “I am reading.”
  • Indirect speech: Surabhi said that she was reading.
  • A first-person and second-person generally change to a third person (depending upon the object to reporting verb).

Change of tenses:

In general, the present tense becomes past tense; past and perfect tenses become the past perfect tense.

Change Of Situations: Examples:

  • Surabhi said, “I read this book last week.” (direct speech)
  • Surabhi said that she had read that book the previous week, (indirect speech)

If the speaker talks about a universal truth, the tense is unchanged.

In case of questions and answers: Examples:

  • Surabhi asked, “Have you read this book?” (Direct Speech)
  • Surabhi asked if/whether I had read that book. (Indirect Speech)
  • Surabhi asked, “Where is the book?” (Direct Speech)
  • Surabhi asked where the book was. (Indirect Speech)

(a) yes/no questions – use if/whether (b) wh-questions – use the wh-word

Word Order:

  • Surabhi asked, “What’s the matter?”
  • Surabhi asked what the matter was. (what + the matter + was)
  • Surabhi asked what was the matter, (what + was + the matter)

Can Be Either:

  • who/which/what + complement + be or
  • who/which/what + be + complement

Reported speech using present and future tenses: Examples:

  • Surabhi said, “The sun rises in the east.” (Direct Speech)
  • Surabhi said that the sun rises in the east. (Indirect Speech)
  • Surabhi said, “I will read this book.” (Direct Speech)
  • Surabhi said that she will read that book. (Indirect Speech)

If the original speaker’s present and future are still present and future, the tense remains unchanged. In case of modal verbs:

would, should, could, might, ought to, and must remain unchanged. Example:

  • Surabhi said, “I can solve this sum.” (Direct Speech)
  • Surabhi said that she could solve that sum. (Indirect Speech)

In our daily lives, we use reported speech in many forms. We use reported speech to report statements, questions, requests or even commands. There are certain things we need to keep in mind when we report each of them.

  • When we report statements, we have to make sure what changes need to be made in the pronoun, tense or temporal-spatial expression.
  • When we transform questions into reported speech, we have to check whether or not to change the tense, pronoun as well as place and time expression.
  • Upon changing, we have to ensure that the question is an indirect question.
  • We also have to make use of words such as where, when, how, if, whether etc.
  • In transforming requests and commands into reported speech, tenses are not relevant.
  • We only have to ensure that there are changes in the pronoun and the place and time expression.

When converting direct speech to reported speech, pay attention to the changes in verb tenses, pronouns, time expressions, and other relevant modifications based on the context and the tense used in the original sentence.

Common changes include the shift of tenses (present to past, future to conditional), pronoun changes, changes in time expressions (today to that day, tomorrow to the next day), and changes in modal verbs (can to could, will to would, etc.).

  • Reported Speech Worksheet for Class 9 CBSE

by Manjusha Nambiar · Published February 1, 2024 · Updated April 6, 2024

When we report questions, the question word (who, what, which etc.) is retained in the reported speech.

Note that a reported question has the same word order as a statement. That means the subject goes before the auxiliary verb.

  • The teacher said, ‘What are you doing?’
  • The teacher asked what I was doing. (NOT The Teacher asked that what I was doing.) (NOT The teacher asked what was I doing.)

In order to report Yes/No questions , we use the conjunction if or whether.

  • ‘Would you like a cup of coffee?’ she asked.
  • She asked if / whether I would like a cup of coffee.

Reporting commands

In order to report a command, we use a reporting verb like asked, told, requested, warned, advised, begged, urged, commanded, ordered etc.

  • Direct speech: ‘Help me, please,’ she cried.
  • Indirect speech: She begged them to help her.

CBSE Class 9 English Grammar – Direct And Indirect Speech

Formulae Handbook for Class 9 Maths and Science Educational Loans in India

Reported Speech Class 9 CBSE 

1. Direct and Indirect Speech: The words spoken by a person can be reported in two ways— Direct and Indirect. When we quote the exact words spoken by a person, we call it Direct Speech.

  • Sohan said to Mohan, “I am going to school.”

The exact words spoken by Sohan are put within inverted commas. But when we give the substance of what Sohan said, it is called the Indirect Speech.

You can master in  English Grammar of various classes by our articles like Tenses, Clauses, Prepositions, Story writing, Unseen Passage, Notice Writing etc. https://www.cbselabs.com/cbse-class-9-english-grammar-direct-indirect-speech/

2. Reporting Clause and Reported Speech: Sohan told Mohan that he was going to school. The words which generally come before the inverted commas are called the reporting clause, i.e. Sohan said to Mohan and the verb ‘said’, is called the reporting verb. The words spoken by Sohan and put within inverted commas are called the reported speech, i.e. “I am going to school.”
